No?

I think the right answers should be kept until Zkribbler gives us them, but as it´s already in discussion... Athena was the goddess of war and wisdom. Hera was the queen of the gods and goddess of marriage.

It's both a joke and a fact. There was a movie called War of the Roses about a couple (the Roses) going through a messy seperation and divorce - Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner played the couple.

[Zoid]

Yes, I´ve watched the movie. But I don´t think it was a movie question...

No. In some people's opinion Hera's overwatch was of a most un-wise institution, love and marriage.
