Jupiter (Greek form: Zeus), the king of the gods and also the god of the sky, was not too happy about something. Juno (Greek form: Hera), the queen of the gods, had killed Jupiter’s son named Jong-Jong with a cow. Juno favored cows. She hated it when Jupiter had a son or daughter with a mortal. She had coaxed the cow to sit on poor baby Jong-Jong and suffocate him. The cow thought it was a good idea so he did. Another baby boy named Michalis was born by Jupiter’s doing. Jupiter was determined to keep this one alive. He sat down to have a talk with Juno, “My love, you need to stop killing my children. I am your husband and I love you very much. There is a war going on between the mortals and I need my mortal children to win it for me.”
“It is just that I am your wife and you shouldn’t go off having children with mortal women so I kill the babies.” Juno replied.
“I only do it when I need them.” Jupiter replied.
“Ok, I will make an exception, but there is one condition. Michalis must be offered to me. I will not kill him, but I will make his life difficult!” Juno exclaimed.
“I accept!” exclaimed Jupiter. He raised his hands. Thunder boomed. “I pronounce that Michalis, son of me, be offered up to my beloved wife, Juno.” Lightning struck and it was finished
