Neither of these sons was well-liked by their father. They had, according to different sources, either one or two sons. Zeus and Hera were the parents of a handful of minor goddesses. She was also angry that Zeus often seemed to prefer the children he had with other women, even the human ones, over her own children. Hera was not just jealous because her husband was unfaithful, however. Hera was constantly jealous of the women her husband loved and the children they gave birth to. The marriage of Zeus and Hera was famously strained by the god’s many affairs and illegitimate children.
