We have previously drawn style inspiration from the Big Three Greek gods, and now it’s time to turn our attention to their wives. So welcome to Greek Myth Fashion: the Queens edition!

In this article I will show you three outfits inspired by Hera, Amphitrite, and Persephone.

Hera – Queen of Olympus

Hera is the goddess of marriage, women, childbirth, and family. And as Zeus’ wife, she is also the queen of Olympus. But despite her patronage over marriage and family life, her own union is not exactly the happiest and most peaceful. 

While Zeus is infamous for his adulterous affairs, Hera is renowned for her vengeance against her husband’s lovers, or against anybody who crosses her. And oftentimes her actions are pretty violent.

As I side note, I think Hera’s favorite album of 2016 would be Beyoncé’s Lemonade. 

Products: Dress, Clutch, Bracelet, Earrings, Sandals

The central element of this Hera-inspired outfit is a white maxi dress, ideal for formal events. Combine it with gold high-heeled sandals and drop earrings for a sophisticated look that’s worthy of a queen. Hera’s sacred animal is the peacock, which is represented through the bracelet and the envelope clutch.

Amphitrite – Queen of the Sea

Amphitrite is a sea nymph, the wife of Poseidon, and the goddess-queen of the sea. In poems she is also the female personification of the sea.

Poseidon and Amphitrite are often depicted together in paintings and sculptures. Decorations featuring the two were commonly found in Poseidon’s temples, possibly indicating a combined worship. I like to think that they were the power couple of the sea.
