Hera isn't stupid. She never was. She's not oblivious to her husband (brother, king) going around and cheating and cheating and cheating -
(does he think life is just a bunch of games?)
- until she feels like crying because maybe, maybe she loves him, just a little(lot), and maybe, maybe that's why she's so careful with him, like he's a porcelain doll -
(she knows he's the King of the Gods, really!)
- and maybe that's why he hates her so much in the first place.
So she sits in her marble chair, hearing all the whispers and not crying, never crying because she is a queen -
(Queen Hera, she always liked the ring to that.)
- and queens do not cry.

Zeus is perfectly aware of the situation, and he does nothing - although he knows he did not choose the wrong sister.
