The goddess Hera is associated with pregnancy, childbirth,
marriage, the home and family, agriculture and vegetation, and
military matters. A number of sanctuaries, heraia, were built to
honour the goddess and to house the cult activities associated with
her. This study looks at votive offerings from six heraia, at
Perachora, Argos, Tiryns, two at Poseidonia-Paestum and the Samian
heraion in Ionia, to determine the nature of these cult activities.
Each sanctuary is examined individually and then the evidence is
compared providing a discussion of Hera's cult on a panhellenic,
polis, and private level'. The study of votive offerings
period-by-period also allows some speculation on the development of
the cult through time.
