Hera’s anger came about because Zeus and all of his affairs (Alcemene) and others. Hera’s husband Zeus not only has kids by her and Alcemene but he has numerous. Zeus has fathered numerous children and engaged in adultery often. For some reason, Hera decided to focus all of her anger on Heracles alone. While still inside his mother Hera still found away to attack Heracles. In the words of Heracles father Zeus "this day shall Eileiuthuia . . . bring a man child in to the world who shall be lord over all that dwell about him who are of my blood and lineage."

After Heracles and Hebe married, Hera is pose to performe a adoption ceremoniy. There are many different myth’s that show Heracles suckling Hera’s milk when he was a baby, which consequently makes him immortal .
