Io was one of Zeus's consorts in Greek Mythology. Hera, Queen of the Heavens and Chief wife of Zeus, was jealous of all of Zeus's lovers because they would give demigods, but she could not, as being Patron of Marriage. Zeus transformed Io into a cow to keep Hera to find out about her, but Hera knew about and asked for the cow. Zeus knew it would be suspicious to refuse, so he reluctantly gave it to her. Hera sent Argus, the hundred eyed giant, to guard her, but eventually Hermes killed him. Hera then sent a gadfly to continuously sting Io until Io fell off a cliff, into a sea that we know call the Ionian Sea.
