Theogony

Book 1, Line 73 by Hugh G. Evelyn-White (English)

(ll. 924-929) But Zeus himself gave birth from his own head to bright-eyed Tritogeneia , the awful, the strife-stirring, the host-leader, the unwearying, the queen, who delights in tumults and wars and battles. But Hera without union with Zeus-for she was very angry and quarrelled with her mate-bare famous Hephaestus, who is skilled in crafts more than all the sons of Heaven.
