The Hera Instinct is at the foundation of the skills of "mothering" others, but far more, as well. It is the feminine instinct that governs every adult feminine task - that of mothering, yes, but also of being a spouse, being a leader and administrator, a property owner, a financier, and a woman participating in the community life or government. As such, she has multiple interests and tasks that she does to build a life.
While she is the wife of Zeus, she is also an independent, co-administrator of Mt Olympus with him. This instinct is obviously, highly useful to women in their general personal growth and ambitions, and also for our purposes in Romantic Dynamics, takes a part in romance, partnership, and early on, in Step 2 of Sexual Attraction, which we have called, "Ladies and Gentlemen." It is in that second step of desire, as a couple are first getting together, that the man lets the woman know "he likes her" and the woman lets the man know "she likes him."
The way that this plays out is in the form of demonstrating the advantages of being with the other, by way of treating each other in a caring, preferential, "fatherly" and "motherly" way - giving comfort and compliments, admiration, swooning as a parent might do toward their child, offering assistance of some kind, and in the case of the woman's turn to further trigger passions in the man - to elevate him in rank among other men, to make him feel important or to have superior resources, and to establish "territory," which is similar to letting him know that he is preferred over other men, and his possessions respected.
We pull this instinctual information not just from the wealth of psychology literature coming out in recent years (such as about the detrimental effect on a marriage of shared chores, or strife over them), but from the source literature of myth - the Temptation of Paris, itself. The story in which the three goddesses, Aphrodite, Hera and Athena each offer Paris of Troy their best instinctual features: that of Athena being "to win every battle," that of Hera being, "dominion over all the earth," and that of Aphrodite, the one Paris did choose as best, "the hand of Helen, the most beautiful mortal in the world," and the "face that launched a thousand ships."
We learn that Hera's offering should not go ignored. While Aphrodite's offering inspires Step 1 of Sexual Attraction, the very first, Hera's forms Step 2 - making a man feel what decades ago was referred to as "feeling like a million bucks," and giving rise to such sayings as "a man's home is his castle." To trigger Step 2 of Sexual Attraction, a woman need only make a man feel special and preferred, which is what mothers do toward young sons. He will then return, in kind, some sort of fatherly gesture.
This interchange shows both partners what the comforts of being together longer term might look like, and also demonstrates the nature of how they might treat each other's children someday.
For the other areas of a woman's life, and personal growth, there are so many stories of Hera in the Greek literature that we can't even begin to detail them here. Every manner of interaction with other women, with "coworkers," with those lower in administration that the woman-leader, relations with male colleagues and other male administrators, every nuance of the feminine instincts are covered in stories of this goddess.
