[[File:Hera Staatliche Antikensammlungen 2685 full.jpg|thumb|Hera (according to inscription); [[Tondo (art)|tondo]] of an Attic [[white-ground]] ''[[Kylix (drinking cup)|kylix]]'' from [[Vulci]], ca. 470 BCE]]
Hera is the daughter of the [[Titans]] [[Cronus]] and [[Rhea (mythology)|Rhea]], and the sibling of [[Hestia]], [[Demeter]], [[Hades]], [[Poseidon]], and [[Zeus]].<ref>Hansen, [https://archive.org/details/handbookofclassi0000hans/page/66/mode/2up?view=theater p. 67]; [[Hesiod]], ''[[Theogony]]'' [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0020.tlg001.perseus-eng1:453-491 453&ndash;9].</ref> Cronus was fated to be overthrown by one of his children; to prevent this, he swallowed all of his newborn children whole until Rhea tricked him into swallowing a stone instead of her youngest child, Zeus. Zeus grew up in secret and then tricked his father into regurgitating his siblings, including Hera. Zeus then led the revolt against the Titans, banished them, and divided the dominion over the world with his brothers, Poseidon and Hades.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.britannica.com/topic/Cronus|title=Cronus {{!}} Greek god|newspaper=Encyclopædia Britannica|access-date=2016-12-04}}</ref>

Other traditions, however, appear to give Hera different upbringings. [[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]] states that she was nursed as an infant by the three daughters of the river [[Asterion (god)|Asterion]]: [[Euboea (mythology)|Euboia]], [[Prosymna (mythology)|Prosymna]], and [[Acraea|Akraia]].<ref>[[Pausanias (geographer)|Pausanias]], [http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:greekLit:tlg0525.tlg001.perseus-eng1:2.17.1 2.17.1].</ref> Furthermore, in [[the Iliad]], Hera states she was given by her mother to [[Tethys (mythology)|Tethys]] to be raised: "I go now to the ends of the generous earth on a visit to the [[Okeanos|Ocean]], whence the gods have risen, and Tethys our mother who brought me up kindly in their own house, and cared for me and took me from Rheia, at that time when Zeus of the wide brows drove Kronos underneath the earth and the barren water."<ref>Homer, Iliad 14. 200 ff, https://www.theoi.com/Titan/TitanisTethys.html#Creation</ref>
