Creatures of Hera

The association with trees and planks is interesting. Binding the plank to a tree was one of the symbolic rituals that was done.

Olive, oak, pear, juniper, sycamore,and lugos/willow are associated with her, especially the latter.

The Transformation of Hera by Joan V. O'Brien contains a chapter about Hera as Mistress of Animals at Samos.
