Greek gods question.?

In a story of Echo and Narcissus, why do the nymphs who are in the company of Zeus try to escape when Hera appears?

Greek gods question.?
Hera is always so jealous so any ladies hanging around Zeus would run away if Hera came cuz she would make their lives miserable. women! :)
Reply:I thought Hera was his wife.
Reply:she's the "alpha female" if you will, and the goddess is never mindfull of her whims!
Reply:hera was very jealous (hench the son born from her jealousy HEPHAESTUS) of all the woman around zesus because he slept with mortal and immortal woman, and had many children because of this. and the nymohs ran away to hide from hera because out of rage and jealousy, she was known to be violent.


that is why.
Reply:Because of Zeus cheating on her with mortals and goddesses, she was a very jealous and mean goddess. She was queen of the gods, therefore, all lessers feared her.
Reply:Obviously the Nymphs (which are little naked females) were being frisky with Zeus and like any naked females playing with hubby, they run when the wifey shows up. Wouldn't you?
Reply:According to the myth Zeus was actually amusing himself among the nymphs.


(Well Zeus was amusing himself nearly with every woman he liked!!)


It was very reasonable for the nymphs to run for their lives when Hera appeared!


Hera had a tendency to revenge his husband mistresses! It was dangerous to stay around!


Echo was punished simply because she tried to delay Hera!
Reply:because of zeus' reputation of being a womaniser, hera can't help but be jealous of the nymphs. plus, its a grave mistake to feel the wrath of hera
Reply:Zeus was married to Hera and she had a habit of exacting revenge on her cheating husbands mistresses and lovers. They would have been afraid of her retribution.
Reply:They try to escape because they know that Hera gets jealous when Zeus is with other women. She would get really mad at the women and turned them into trees and stuff.
Reply:Perhaps it was because Zeus was such a ba-ad boy. Echo used to hang out with Hera and keep her occupied while Zeus was fooling around with the nymphs. Zeus was a very bad husband, and Hera had a very bad temper. No wonder the nymphs ran away.
