伊俄
伊俄是河神的女儿，宙斯爱她、追求她、并得到了她。

赫拉对此嫉妒不已。

一天她飞下奥林波斯山向情敌施加报复。

然而宙斯早已预见到她的光临，就将伊俄变成了一头美丽的小白牛犊，赫拉看穿了其中的诡计，非要一头牛犊作为礼物。

宙斯无奈，只得让她如愿以偿。

赫拉便将牛犊托付给百眼魔鬼阿刚斯看管。

阿刚斯的眼睛永远睁着，要想逃脱是不可能的。

看到伊俄如此忧郁，宙斯简直无法忍受，便令赫耳墨斯将魔鬼铲除。

赫耳墨斯乔装成牧羊人给阿刚斯唱悦耳动听的
歌，讲冗长乏味的故事以哄他入睡。

之后便寻机杀死魔鬼，释放了伊俄。

但赫拉的狂怒并未消除。

她派了一只牛虻去攻击牛犊，使她颠沛流离。

在十分悲痛之中，牛犊穿越了分隔欧亚大陆的海峡。

从此这片狭长的水域被称作博斯普鲁斯海峡，意为牛犊之路。

她接着漫游过海，这片大海也就在偶然中有了名称——伊奥尼亚海，最后她到了埃及，并恢复了她本来的体态和容貌。

她在那里落户并生了个儿子。

她的一些子孙就呆在了埃及，当了很长的国王。
