Hera is one of the Olympian gods featured within the Divine Will system in a Total War Saga: Troy.

Hera, queen of Olympus and goddess of marriage, had a stormy relationship with her husband Zeus, who consorted with both mortals and immortals alike with alarming frequency. She was tricked into marrying him when the Olympian, knowing that she felt great affection for animals, took on the shape of a distressed cuckoo, which Hera held to her breast. When the mischievous deity revealed his true form, Hera was deeply ashamed and agreed to marry him to keep her embarrassment a secret.

Described as jealous and vindictive, Hera often schemed against Zeus' conquests and made life difficult for his illegitimate progeny. She was also known for her vanity: when Paris chose Aphrodite over her, she vowed to bring down the House of Troy in retaliation. The Iliad shows her scheming to aid the Achaeans and endeavouring with Athena to bring ruin to the mighty city-state.₋₋₋[sic]
