Hera, the Greek goddess of marriage and family, was primarily associated with the city of Argos and the region of Olympia, rather than Athens. While she was venerated throughout Greece, including in Athens, she did not specifically serve the city. In Athens, the primary goddess was Athena, who was the city's protector and represented wisdom and warfare. Hera's role in Athenian worship was secondary to that of Athena.
