This tells the story of Hera, who when given Heracles (Zeus's son) to suckle refused him. Zeus placed the baby on her breast whilst she slept and in waking she removed him. The story tells of how when a drop of her milk was spilt lilies grew up from the spot. She also sprayed some of her milk into the skies which became the Milky Way.
In many stories Hera is portrayed as a jealous and difficult woman but this act is one of both strength and creativity.
