Hera, the goddess of marriage and families, may be married to Zeus, the God of gods, but she would totally agree with Ariana Grande’s mantra: “God is a woman.”

The goddess of love, Aphrodite, has probably had “love on the brain” forever … literally, since she’s immortal.
The album cover of Rihanna’s ANTI, which includes “Love on the Brain.”
Athena came into being after emerging from Zeus’ head. Millenia later, Billie Eilish sings, “I think therefore I am,” which speaks perfectly to the goddess of wisdom and war.

The maiden goddess of the moon, Artemis, is known for her deadly bow and arrow skills and leading her band of fierce Hunters. Who’s to say she doesn’t command them with iconic words from the equally as fierce Queen Bey, “Okay ladies, now let’s get in formation?”
