After Hercules death/ascension, Hera's pawn King Eurytheus remained in her service as he attempted to destroy everything that was important to the now late Hercules. Eventually, he declared war on the Mycenae, the people Hercules mother, Alchema, now ruled/descended from. After a bloody battle, Eurytheus was defeated by one of Hercules surviving children, Hyllus, and taken before Alchema, who blinded him for his attack just before Hyllus beheaded him. Seeing use for Eurytheus still, Hera appeared before his dismembered head and body and knitted them back together, granting her puppet immortality. It would be the modern age before Eurytheus would be utilized by Hera again. [Hercules (3rd series) #2]
Sometime after Hercules was granted his godhood, he encountered the Asgardian god Thor. The two cocky warriors immediately came to blows as they joined a conflict between their respective worshippers. When Hercules returned to Olympus, he bade his father's leave to destroy Asgard, seeing it as an affront to their supremacy. Hera attempted to convince Zeus to allow Hercules his request, as she quite frankly just wanted him gone, telling Zeus that his removal would be good for their marriage. The assembled gods, including Hera's own son Ares, spoke against her in this moment and Zeus refused Hercules his request. As Zeus made his decision, Loki, masquerading as his brother Thor, appeared behind Hercules and struck him from behind. He mocked the Olympians before teleporting away. Now insulted, the Olympians wanted war; even Hera claimed that this “Thor” was even worse than Hercules. Zeus now convinced pledged war on Asgard. Despite Hera's hope of discord between Hercules and Ares, they actually fought side by side in the conflict with Asgard. Ultimately, the Olympians did lose the war but Zeus and King of the Asgardians' Odin agreed a detente between their two peoples once Loki's ruse was revealed. [Thor (1st series) Annual #5]
Thor would later prove a foil to Hera yet again during the infamous Trojan War. The cause of the Trojan War was actually traced back to Hera and two of her 
stepdaughters/nieces, Athena and Aphrodite. A young price of Troy, Paris was asked to judge a beauty contest between the three goddesses. He ultimately chose Aphrodite, who bribed him by offering him the hand of the most beautiful woman in Greece. In actuality, she tricked him as he believed that she was in fact speaking of herself, when instead she was speaking of Helen of Sparta (herself another alleged illegitimate child of Zeus), wife of King Menelaus of Sparta. Paris would introduce himself to Helen, with whom Aphrodite made him fall in love. The two then absconded back to Troy and Menelaus called his banners and declared war. In an unusual alliance, Hera and Athena both pledged that Troy must be destroyed for Paris' insult on their beauty and secretly worked to help the Spartans and their allies, while conversely Aphrodite aided the Trojans. During one of his many ploys, Loki tricked his brother Thor into interfering with this war and, for a brief time, Thor even turned the tide of the battle for the Trojans. Hera tried to convince her husband, Zeus, to kill Thor for his violation of his command that the gods must not interfere in the affairs of mortals (ironically Hera, Zeus and all of the Olympians Gods routinely interfered in the affairs of mortals including in this very story). Athena advised restraint but that the Asgardian must be punished. Zeus ultimately agreed with Athena and engaged the young thunder god. Thor put up a valiant fight but he proved inadequate against the more powerful patriarch. Beaten, Thor departed back to Asgard. On his return, he met his brother Loki who had told him that he had given the Greeks the idea to build the Trojan Horse. The large wooden horse was delivered as a faux peace offering to the Trojans. While the Trojans slept, the Greek horde descended from the inside of the horse and sacked Troy. Hera had gotten her wish and Troy fell. [Thor (1st series) Annual #8]
[Note: Hera's role in the Trojan War was expanded in Marvel Illustrated: The Iliad but given that this series is not compatible canonically with Thor (1st series) Annual #8, it not referenced in this profile. Additionally, as it clear from the text that Thor considers his first meeting with the Olympians to be in Thor Annual #5, it had to take place before Thor Annual #8 when they knew who he was.]
Hera's part in human history was not solely one of destruction. In preparation for the arrival of the Celestials Fourth Host, while Zeus and the other “father” gods prepared for war against the space gods, Hera was commissioned by her grandmother Gaea, along with the other mother goddesses, to find a path of peace. She, along with the other “mothers,” were to find exceptional mortals from among their own worshipers to be submitted to the Celestials as evidence that the Earth should be spared. Again it would be the modern age before it was revealed that her efforts in this instance proved fruitful and she, along with the mothers, managed to save the Earth. [Thor (1st series) #301]
Many centuries later, in the 1940s, the Olympians had relocated Olympus to the planet Venus and were under the rule of Aphrodite, now calling herself by her roman name, also Venus. As queen, Venus maintained a secret identity on Earth as the editor of “Beauty Magazine.” When her friend from work, Lucy, told her the inexplicable story that her fiancée Frank had fallen in love with a statue of “Juno,” Hera's roman name, Venus decided to help. Venus 
believed that, if Frank simply met his object of desire and knew what she was really like, he would return to Lucy. “Juno's” rage had not remained on Earth, she was still incredibly (but understandably) jealous and mistrustful that other women were trying to seduce her husband. When Venus found her, she was fighting with Leda about making eyes at Jupiter (aka Zeus). Venus stopped the altercation and told Juno that, as punishment, she was going to strip her of her powers and send her to Earth to live as a mortal. Juno was unable to refuse a command of Venus and complied. When the duo arrived on Earth, Venus took Juno to a museum to meet her “suitor,” who was sitting in admiration of her statue. Juno was inclined to agree when she saw the statue of herself and she too was marveling at her own beauty and the statue's incredible likeness. Frank instantly recognized Juno, who confirmed she was indeed the goddess from his fantasies. Frank was smitten and Juno was hungry. She asked him to take her for something to eat and after she wanted to go somewhere with music and men. It was a date. As they entered the restaurant, it was clear that this romance was doomed. After dealing with her philandering husband for so long, Juno was unable to trust that Frank would be faithful either or that any woman they encountered was a not a potential seductress. She slapped Frank for “looking” at another women, then got into a physical altercation with their waitress before being carried out by the police. At this point, Frank was now missing Lucy but Juno had seen a man that she was more interested as well, Mister Hammond. Juno threw herself at Hammond but, as he was already Venus' love interest, the goddess of love dispatched Juno back to Venus and returned her powers. Juno made it clear she was disappointed returning home. [Marvel Mystery Comics #91]
[Note: The canonicity of the Venus' stories are a questionable subject, given that Venus/Aphrodite did have an imposter, though she was apparently active after this story. Still there is nothing in this story that is directly contradicted elsewhere and the characterization of Hera/Juno itself is consistent, so it was included.]
