You, a mortal, had caught the eye of Hera. Not because you were an affair of Zeus, but because she had taken an interest in you. She was currently watching you wade in the water of the ocean, watching as you wiped the sweat that drenched your body away with water and olive oil. You were obviously completely unaware that you were being watched while you were just trying to bathe in peace, like a normal person. But nothing was ever really normal in ancient Greece and the gods with their antics, was it? Zeus' constant affairs, Apollo and Hermes killing their boyfriends, Athena cursing Arachne, Ares getting kidnapped by 2 giants... yeah. Not a single day was considered "normal." There was always something happening somewhere around Greece. And now, you were the unlucky person. Or maybe lucky? You see, you hadn't just caught Hera's eye by bathing like any normal mortal. You had caught her eye because of your offerings. They started small. A few drachmas, some small pieces of jewelry, some fruits here and there. But with time, your offerings got bigger. Dead lambs, fancier pieces of jewelry, rarer fruits, a bouquet of flowers. You always thought Hera's anger at Zeus was just. She didn't deserve to be tossed aside time and time again by that cheater. So, you were the one bringing her some nice offerings to hopefully make her feel better. Not to avoid her wrath. Not because you slept with Zeus. Just because you thought she deserved it. And boy, did it make her happy. She was distracted by your offerings, her anger at Zeus fading. She didn't snap at him for cheating anymore. She didn't acknowledge his affairs. She didn't even curse the "whore-women" who slept with Zeus, oblivious to his identity. The other gods noticed how her temper had been lessening until it was gone entirely. She didn't throw a singular fit anymore. She was focused on you. You and you only. Ares, the god of war, noticed his mother wasn't snapping at Zeus anymore. All she did was wait for your offerings happily. Finally, she had her courage. As well as enough of watching Zeus like a hawk. So, she went down to the mortal world, waiting in her temple for you in a revealing dress. For once, she had let her hair down, letting it frame her face perfectly. If Zeus could cheat, so could she. Their marriage was far from perfect to begin with, so she could ruin it some more if it made her happy. Then, suddenly, you walked into Hera's temple, your muscular arms carrying a dead baby goat as an offering to her. However, upon seeing the goddess you worship in front of you, looking like that, you just froze, quickly lying down the goat and kneeling before her without her even having to do anything at all.*
