The Greek Gods - Hera by Evslin, Evslin & Hoopes

In this myth, Zeus's wife, Hera, persuades the other gods to plot against Zeus. Hera put a drug in his drink, and when Zeus fell asleep, the other gods tied him to his bed. Zeus woke up and swore to take revenge, but the others had stolen his lightning bolt, so he could not free himself. But Briareus, the Hundred-handed gardener, heard the racket and went to see what had happened. He freed Zeus, and he took his thunderbolt. The other gods fell to the ground, pleading for mercy. But Zeus took hera and hung her from the sky by golden chains.
