I ask of you to let rain pour from the sky, soaking the rich earth in gentle waters. My Queen, most fair Hera, I ask of you to bring the winds, the powerful air, and wonderful storms. Thank you, queen hera, for all that you have done. I hope that the skies will be cleared, and the clouds empty. I ask of you, to grant good weather on this day. Hera, I wish you a good morning, for Eos has brought the dawn once more, and tireless Helios travels the sky. Mum, most fair Hera, please let my day sail smoothly, for it shall be rough, and I beg for your help. Hera, white-armed goddess, of the chariot, Hera Heniokhe, please rant me motion - for I thank you, and love you, dear Hera. I struggle with the burdens I carry, especially on this day. I beg of you, Queen Of the gods, to grant me energy. Queen of the heavens, I pray to you to let my day go well, my tasks to be finished, and for my day to go well. The goat-eater, Hera Aigophagos, who was worshipped by the Lacedaemonians, I ask of you to protect me, for troubling times have come. So, dear Hera, hear my cry, ox-eyed goddess. Hera Alexandros, dear defender of man, the queen who bares a lotus tipped staff - protect me, and my life that is like the herds of cattle you adore - I do not wish to be trampled by storming hooves.
