Early Greece

A commonly known fact is that the peoples of ancient Greece were polytheistic. They had gods for all the different aspects of life and they often made temples to honor and worship and their god. Some of the temples withstood the tests of time and one of these was in the Temple of Hera. Hera we have learned is the goddess of women and marriage. This means that women and marriage held some importance in the society of the early Greeks because they built such a large temple out of lasting material. If women and marriage held absolutely no importance to Greek society then they wouldn't have built a temple for the goddess of women and marriage.
