Hera made Argus, a giant with one hundred eyes, keep watch over Io. When Hermes killed Argus by lulling all one hundred eyes to sleep with music, Io could escape. However, Hera sent a gadfly to sting Io as she wandered the earth in a frenzied state.
Hera got Argus Panoptes to guard Io. Argus was a giant with many eyes, making him an effective watchman. Hera assigned him this task to keep Io, a mortal woman whom Zeus had turned into a cow to hide from her jealousy, under constant surveillance. Ultimately, Hermes was sent by Zeus to rescue Io and put an end to Argus's watch.
The goddess Hera. Io was a girl that Hera transformed into a cow, Argus was the servant of Hera whose eyes were set in a peacock's tail, and Hera trained the Nemean lion.
Io
Io (the cow) transformed back into a nymph and became the goddess Isis.
Hera was as dangerous as any deity in the Greco-Roman pantheon. She was highly vindictive of Zeus' adultery, as seen in stories like that of Heracles or Io. Heracles was plagued with troubles of Hera's doing because he was the son of Zeus and Alcumena. Io was raped by Zeus, and in retribution, Hera turned Io into a cow and made her go mad. Io was eventually saved, but first had to suffer Hera's anger.On the other hand, Hera was a patron of women, especially wives and mothers, and would be invoked for protection of pregnant women, although other deities existed who were patrons of childbirth specifically. These two seemingly bipolar roles probably stem from Greek ideas of women as chattel without rights (though not without responsibilities).Hera, as with all gods and goddesses, is mythical. For those that believe she was probably very dangerous and also very helpful.

No, Io was not a mortal. In Greek mythology, she was a priestess of Hera who was turned into a cow by Zeus to protect her from Hera's jealousy. Io was later transformed back into human form and became a goddess.
Hera named the Ionian Sea after Io because in Greek mythology, Io was a priestess of Hera who was turned into a cow by Zeus to hide his affair with her. Hera discovered Zeus's infidelity and sent a gadfly to chase Io across the sea, eventually leading to her transformation into a goddess. Naming the sea after Io served as a reminder of her sacrifice and suffering.
