Was there a character in graeco-roman myth more frivolous than Hera/Juno? It seems to me that every time she is mentioned or implied she ends up killing someone innocent because of a jealous tantrum.

Read Jason and the Argonauts. Hera was the fucking fairy godmother there.
Dionysus is the one that seems to get people brutally killed in every story
The ancient gods were archetypes, not real beings. She perfectly plays the role of the eternal woman.

And in comparison, her antics in all the other heroics, from Theseus to Herakles to Aeneas, she's the jealous wife of Zeus that lashes out on everything because she's too autistic to know how to keep a man.

Ignorant much.

The original post mentioned every time Hera is mentioned
>too autistic to know how to keep a man
In the Iliad, Hera definitely knows to keep Zeus occupied. Rather than autistic wife, her antics are more similar to the first wife of a polygamous household, trying to ensure the inheritance goes through her to her son

How does inheritance work through immortals apart from patricide, and why would anyone want Ares as chief god of Olympos?

>Hera/Juno
I winced reading that. Literally the only similarities between Juno and Hera are being the sister wife of the sky god and being the goddesses of family. They are extremely different in character and attitudes, and Juno was most certainly not frivolous.
In fact you could say the same for basically all greek and roman divinities. Mars, Saturn, Venus and company are all very different from their greek counterparts.

They are the same characters but were expanded upon by the romans
The fact you are even attempting to refute this shows nothing but idiocy
>they were not the same in any way except their position in the mythos and in their core tenets
Sure thing autistabot
