High atop Mount Olympus, Hera, Queen of the Gods, and her head priestess Doloreia gave birth to their daughters on the very same night. Waking abruptly, Hera secretly caught Doloreia swapping the two infants out of bitter jealousy — Doloreia planned to pass her own child off as the royal heir, while tormenting Hera’s real daughter as a lowly servant. Instead of confronting her at once, Hera quietly switched the babies back after Doloreia left, burying the truth and biding her time for eighteen years to exact justice. Eighteen years later, Athena, Hera’s beloved daughter, was crowned the Goddess of Wisdom and named one of the Twelve Olympians. At the peak of the celebration, Doloreia publicly lied that Athena was her biological daughter, fabricating a “nursery mix-up” with a false witness. Enraged, Zeus erupted in fury, and the gods fell into chaos. Calm and unyielding, Hera summoned the Three Fates to deliver the final divine oracle. As the truth was revealed, Doloreia learned too late that Hilda — the girl she had abused and tormented for eighteen years — was her own real daughter.
