Io is the daughter of Inachus, a River God, and Argia/Melia. By others she is called a daughter of Iasus or Peiren.
Regardless, she was loved by Zeus and turned into a white heifer by him, she was then gaurded by the hundred-eyed giant Argus, who was killed by Hermes, she was then plagued by a gad-fly to torment or drive her mad - she traveled until she reached Egypt and became there the goddess Isis, her children were Epapus, Iasus, and Ceroessa.
Epaphus married Memphis or Cassiopeia and had Libya, Lycianassa and Dorus. With Poseidon, Ceroessa had Byzas.
