Abstract

In the ancient Greek polytheistic religion, Hera was considered the wife of Zeus and she was worshipped as the goddess of marriage. This paper analyses pre-Olympian references to Hera as an unmarried Great Goddess related to nature and fertility, and it explores from a critical perspective the origins and contents of her cult as Hera Teleia, the “perfect wife.” Mythological tales about her fights with Zeus, their conflictive relationship and his continuous love affairs with goddesses and women show us that the divine Greek model for human marriage was far from being a state of marital bliss.

赫拉，完美妻子?希腊婚姻女神的特征与悖论

在古希腊多神教中，赫拉被认为是宙斯的妻子，被奉为婚姻女神。本文分析了前奥林匹克时期将赫拉作为与自然和生育有关的未婚大女神的参考文献，并从批判的角度探讨了她作为“完美妻子”赫拉·泰莉亚的崇拜的起源和内容。神话故事讲述了她与宙斯的争斗，他们之间的矛盾关系，以及宙斯与女神和女人之间持续不断的爱情，这些都向我们展示了古希腊的人类婚姻模式远非婚姻幸福的状态。
