Io

Io was the daughter of Inachus, river god. She meets the god Jove, and Jove is attracted to Io. Jove tells Io that he is a god and she has nothing to worry about. Io runs from Jove, she is attacked and raped. Jove turns Io into a white heifer. Io is imprisoned under the watch of Argus. Io cannot speak to others, so one day at the river with her father she spells out the tragic event that has occured. Io is finally turned back into her human form when Jove pleas to Juno let her go. Io is now a celebrated goddess known as Isis.
