Hera, Queen of Heaven and goddess of marriage and the starry sky, is wife of Zeus in Greek mythology. Io was the lover of Zeus whom Zeus - not Hera - turned into a white heifer when Hera came upon Zeus and discovered his affair. Hera was not fooled by Io's shape and asked to have her, Zeus could not disagree and gave Io to Hera, who put Io in the keeping of Argos Panoptês - Zeus later sent Hermes to save Io. Hermes killed Argos, and Hera put his hundred eyes on the peacock and sent a gadfly after Io, which kept her from rest with it's sting. Io eventually came to Egypt, where she was identified with Isis, and her son Epaphos with Apis.

The best idiom for jealousy is "the green-eyed monster." Saying this means that someone is jealous of something. You don't actually call the person a monster, though.
