Herakles
My thoughts on Zeus have somewhat changed since reading the ending of this play. I considered to be ruthless and mean, what we saw of Zeus in this play and Prometheus Bound made it seem like he was the worst god of them all. I have since realized that Hera is the meanest and most spiteful of all the gods and goddesses. I feel like Hera shouldn't be taking her anger about Zeus' affairs on his children with mortal women, they can't help who their parents are. Instead, Hera should be getting mad a Zeus for not being a faithful husband. I think that Hera has her priorities off and shouldn't be worshipped as this great goddess who, in my opinion, is only significant because she is the queen of the gods. One thing I found somewhat ironic is that Herakles seems to be named after Hera, even though he has no relation to her. It makes me wonder if Zeus and Herakles' mother make the affair up to Hera by giving her the honor of having the child named after her.
