Jove rhetorically imagines Juno within the walls of Ilius consuming Priam, his sons, and the Trojans.
“what harm have Priam and his sons done you that you are so hotly bent on sacking the city of Ilius? Will nothing do for you but you must within their walls and eat Priam raw, with his sons and all the other Trojans to boot?”
Juno was present at Troy, where she stayed the horses.
“When they reached Troy and the place where its two flowing streams Simois and Scamander meet, there Juno stayed them”
Juno drove through the gates of heaven.
“Juno lashed the horses on, and the gates of heaven bellowed as they flew open of their own accord—gates over which the Hours preside, in whose hands are Heaven and Olympus, either to open the dense cloud that hides them, or to close it. Through these the goddesses drove their obedient steeds”
Juno drives physically through the gates of heaven with Minerva.
“white-armed Juno, daughter of great Saturn, obeyed her words; she set about harnessing her gold-bedizened steeds, while Minerva daughter of aegis-bearing Jove flung her richly vesture, made with her own hands, on to the threshold of her father, and donned the shirt of Jove, arming herself for battle. Then she stepped into her flaming chariot, and grasped the spear so stout and sturdy and strong with which she quells the ranks of heroes who have displeased her. Juno lashed her horses, and the gates of heaven bellowed as they flew open of their own accord—gates over which the Hours preside, in whose hands are heaven and Olympus, either to open the dense cloud that hides them or to close it. Through these the goddesses drove their obedient steeds”
Juno reached the topmost ridges of Olympus and stayed her horses there.

“Queen Juno made high Olympus quake as she shook with rage upon her throne”
Juno is physically present on Olympus, sitting apart from Jove.
“Presently father Jove drove his chariot to Olympus, and entered the assembly of gods. The mighty lord of the earthquake unyoked his horses for him, set the car upon its stand, and threw a cloth over it. Jove then sat down upon his golden throne and Olympus reeled beneath him. Minerva and Juno sat alone, apart from Jove”
Juno went back to the house of Jove.

“Thereon Juno left them and resumed her seat inside, while Iris and Apollo”
Juno comes to Athos during her journey.
“while Juno darted down from the summits of Olympus. She passed over Pieria and fair Emathia, and went on and on till she came to the snowy ranges of the Thracian horsemen, over whose topmost crests she sped without ever setting foot to ground. When she came to Athos”
Juno reaches Lemnos and meets Sleep there.
“while Juno darted down from the summits of Olympus. She passed over Pieria and fair Emathia, and went on and on till she came to the snowy ranges of the Thracian horsemen, over whose topmost crests she sped without ever setting foot to ground. When she came to Athos she went on over the, waves of the sea till she reached Lemnos, the city of noble Thoas. There she met Sleep”
Juno goes to Gargarus, the topmost peak of Ida.
“Juno then went to Gargarus”
Juno says that she has come here from Olympus; in the continuing scene, ‘here’ is Gargarus.
“Then Juno told him a lying tale and said, ‘I am going to the world’s end, to visit Oceanus, from whom all we gods proceed, and mother Tethys; they received me into their house, took care of me, and brought me up. I must go and see them that I may make peace between them: they have been quarrelling, and are so angry that they have not slept with one another this long time. The horses that will take me over land and sea are stationed on the lowermost spurs of many-fountained Ida, and I have come here from Olympus”
Juno is one of the pair speaking of being together here at Gargarus, the top of Ida.
“Juno again answered him with a lying tale. ‘Most dread son of Saturn,’ she exclaimed, ‘what are you talking about? Would you have us enjoy one another here on the top of Mount Ida”
Juno lies down with Jove at the deictic Gargarus.
“the son of Saturn caught his wife in his embrace; whereon the earth sprouted them a cushion of young grass, with dew-bespangled lotus, crocus, and hyacinth, so soft and thick that it raised them well above the ground. Here they laid themselves down”
Juno is held by Jove while he reposes at Gargarus.
“the sire of all things repose peacefully on the crest of Ida, overcome at once by sleep and love, and he held his spouse in his arms”
Juno is one of the two who reach many-fountained Ida.
“Juno did as he had said. She swore, and invoked all the gods of the nether world, who are called Titans, to witness. When she had completed her oath, the two enshrouded themselves in a thick mist and sped lightly forward, leaving Lemnos and Imbrus behind them. Presently they reached many-fountained Ida”
Juno lay beside Jove on the crests of Ida.

Juno is one of the two who reach Lectum and leave the sea there.
“Juno did as he had said. She swore, and invoked all the gods of the nether world, who are called Titans, to witness. When she had completed her oath, the two enshrouded themselves in a thick mist and sped lightly forward, leaving Lemnos and Imbrus behind them. Presently they reached many-fountained Ida, mother of wild beasts, and Lectum where they left the sea to go on by land”
In Agamemnon’s recollected story, Juno goes to Achaean Argos and brings Sthenelus’s child to birth there.
“For Juno darted down from the high summit of Olympus, and went in haste to Achaean Argos where she knew that the noble wife of Sthenelus son of Perseus then was.”
Juno takes her seat with Neptune’s allied gods at the high earth-barrow of Hercules.
“Here Neptune and those that were with him took their seats”
Juno attended Thetis in the heavenly assembly.
“The goddess took her dark veil, than which there can be no robe more sombre, and went forth with fleet Iris leading the way before her. The waves of the sea opened them a path, and when they reached the shore they flew up into the heavens, where they found the all-seeing son of Saturn with the blessed gods that live for ever assembled near him. Minerva gave up her seat to her, and she sat down by the side of father Jove. Juno then placed a fair golden cup in her hand, and spoke to her in words of comfort, whereon Thetis drank and gave her back the cup”
Juno sees the Achaeans in their death-throes and compassionately moves Achilles to call an assembly.
“moved thereto by Juno, who saw the Achaeans in their death-throes and had compassion upon them”
Juno sends Minerva down from heaven out of love for both Achilles and Agamemnon.
“for Juno had sent her in the love she bore to them both”
Minerva says Juno sent her because Juno cares for Achilles and Agamemnon alike.
“Juno has sent me, who cares for both of you alike”
Achilles reports that Juno joined a plot to bind Jove before Thetis intervened.
“when the others, with Juno, Neptune, and Pallas Minerva would have put him in bonds”
Jove says Juno continually rails at him before the gods and accuses him of aiding Troy.
“she is always railing at me before the other gods and accusing me of giving aid to the Trojans”
Juno recognizes that Jove and silver-footed Thetis have laid secret plans and immediately upbraids him as a trickster.
“But Juno, when she saw him, knew that he and the old merman’s daughter, silver-footed Thetis, had been hatching mischief, so she at once began to upbraid him. ‘Trickster,’ she cried, ‘which of the gods have you been taking into your counsels now? You are always settling matters in secret behind my back, and have never yet told me, if you could help it, one word of your intentions.’”
Juno denies prying and says she lets Jove have his way, yet voices a strong suspicion—after noting that Thetis held his knees that morning—that he promised Achilles glory at Achaean cost.
“‘Dread son of Saturn,’ answered Juno, ‘what are you talking about? I? Pry and ask questions? Never. I let you have your own way in everything. Still, I have a strong misgiving that the old merman’s daughter Thetis has been talking you over, for she was with you and had hold of your knees this self-same morning. I believe, therefore, that you have been promising her to give glory to Achilles, and to kill much people at the ships of the Achaeans.’”
Frightened by Jove’s threat, Juno curbs her stubborn will and sits in silence while the heavenly household grows disquieted.
“Juno was frightened, so she curbed her stubborn will and sat down in silence. But the heavenly beings were disquieted throughout the house of Jove”
Juno urgently orders Minerva to stop the Achaeans from launching their ships and abandoning Helen and the glory of her possession to Troy.
“Then surely the Argives would have returned after a fashion that was not fated. But Juno said to Minerva, ‘Alas, daughter of aegis-bearing Jove, unweariable, shall the Argives fly home to their own land over the broad sea, and leave Priam and the Trojans the glory of still keeping Helen, for whose sake so many of the Achaeans have died at Troy, far from their homes? Go about at once among the host, and speak fairly to them, man by man, that they draw not their ships into the sea.’”
Juno plots harm for the Trojans beside Minerva, mutters discontent, cannot contain herself, and recalls the sweat and effort she spent mustering people against Priam.
“Minerva and Juno muttered their discontent as they sat side by side hatching mischief for the Trojans. Minerva scowled at her father, for she was in a furious passion with him, and said nothing, but Juno could not contain herself. ‘Dread son of Saturn,’ said she, ‘what, pray, is the meaning of all this? Is my trouble, then, to go for nothing, and the sweat that I have sweated, to say nothing of my horses, while getting the people together against Priam and his children? Do as you will, but we other gods shall not all of us approve your counsel”
Juno identifies herself as a god of Jove’s race, Saturn’s eldest daughter, and Jove’s wife.
“I too am a god and of the same race with yourself. I am Saturn’s eldest daughter, and am honourable not on this ground only, but also because I am your wife”
Dione recounts Juno suffering an unassuaged breast wound.
“Juno, again, suffered when the mighty son of Amphitryon wounded her on the right breast with a three-barbed arrow, and nothing could assuage her pain.”
Juno sees Argives falling and urges Minerva to stop Mars by entering the fight.
“Now when the goddess Juno saw the Argives thus falling, she said to Minerva, ‘Alas, daughter of aegis-bearing Jove, unweariable, the promise we made Menelaus that he should not return till he had sacked the city of Ilius will be of no effect if we let Mars rage thus furiously. Let us go into the fray at once.”
Juno puts her steeds under the yoke, eager for battle and the war-cry.
“Then Juno put her steeds under the yoke, eager for battle and the war-cry.”
Juno drives through heaven’s gates to Jove, denounces Mars’s destruction of the Achaeans, and asks leave to strike and chase him from battle.
“Juno lashed the horses on, and the gates of heaven bellowed as they flew open of their own accord—gates over which the Hours preside, in whose hands are Heaven and Olympus, either to open the dense cloud that hides them, or to close it. Through these the goddesses drove their obedient steeds, and found the son of Saturn sitting all alone on the topmost ridges of Olympus. There Juno stayed her horses, and spoke to Jove the son of Saturn, lord of all. ‘Father Jove,’ said she, ‘are you not angry with Mars for these high doings? how great and goodly a host of the Achaeans he has destroyed to my great grief, and without either right or reason, while the Cyprian and Apollo are enjoying it all at their ease and setting this unrighteous madman on to do further mischief. I hope, Father Jove, that you will not be angry if I hit Mars hard, and chase him out of the battle.’”
Juno flies with Minerva to the Argives and raises a shout like Stentor’s fifty-man voice.
“the two goddesses then went on, flying like turtledoves in their eagerness to help the Argives. When they came to the part where the bravest and most in number were gathered about mighty Diomed, fighting like lions or wild boars of great strength and endurance, there Juno stood still and raised a shout like that of brazen-voiced Stentor, whose cry was as loud as that of fifty men together.”
Jove says Mars inherited Juno’s stubborn spirit and blames her for his plight.
“You have the intolerable and stubborn spirit of your mother Juno: it is all I can do to manage her, and it is her doing that you are now in this plight:”
Juno returns to Jove’s house with Minerva after stopping Mars’s murderous fighting.
“Juno of Argos and Minerva of Alalcomene, now that they had put a stop to the murderous doings of Mars, went back again to the house of Jove.”
Juno shakes with rage so violently that Olympus quakes, then urges Neptune to pity the dying Danaans and wish them well.
“Queen Juno made high Olympus quake as she shook with rage upon her throne. Then said she to the mighty god of Neptune, ‘What now, wide ruling lord of the earthquake? Can you find no compassion in your heart for the dying Danaans, who bring you many a welcome offering to Helice and to Aegae? Wish them well then”
Juno prompts Agamemnon to bestir himself and encourage the Achaeans.
“Queen Juno put it into the mind of Agamemnon, to bestir himself and to encourage the Achaeans”
