I am Konstantinos aka The Mythologist and through my studies in archaeology I've gotten to know and love mythology.

I've decided to share myths concerning gods, heroes and monsters here but also other interesting stories here on YouTube!

Two names, two gods, a marriage, love, hate and vengeance. Zeus and Hera were the leaders of the Gods of Olympus and their relationship affected everyone. Zeus was not faithful but Hera was not the type to do nothing against his insults. But why? Why did Zeus cheat on Hera so much? How can that be explained beyond the myth? What can you learn from this turbulent relationship about the way ancient Greeks viewed the world?
