Hera breaks down in tears over her son's disappearance, while Zeus erupts in a fury. Later, when Hera and Zeus are awoken to the noise coming from the nursery where Hercules is, they arrive too late to find the nursery ransacked and Hercules gone. She also suggests that Zeus provide a gift from themselves to Hercules, resulting in Zeus creating Pegasus. She appears to be somewhat overprotective of him, as evidenced when she objects to her husband Zeus letting the newborn Hercules play with his thunderbolts.
Hera appears on Olympus with Zeus as they celebrate the birth of their newborn son, Hercules.
