The best-known account of the story comes from Ovid\'s \'Metamorphoses\' (I, 583ff). Io was seduced by Jupiter and he then transformed her into a heifer in an attempt to deceive his wife, Juno. Juno, however, made Jupiter give the heifer to her whereupon she put it in the charge of Argus, the hundred-eyed watchman. Here, Lastman shows the moment when Juno descends to earth, surrounded by peacocks and asks for the heifer. He adds two figures not mentioned by Ovid - Cupid and the man with the mask which are allegories of love and deceit respectively. The tails of the peacocks have no \'eyes\' yet. Jupiter later had Argus killed, and his hundred eyes were transferred to the peacock\'s tail.

Ovid\'s book had already been translated into Dutch in about 1590 and was often used by artists as a source for mythological subjects for their paintings: it eventually became known as the \'Painters\' Bible\'. The Dutch writer Karel van Mander in 1604 devoted a substantial portion of his \'Schilderboek\' (Book of Painting) to the interpretation of Ovid\'s stories.

Hera可不是省油的燈，要求宙斯將白牛送給她作為禮物，宙斯無可奈何，只好將白牛送給她。

Jupiter is reconciles with Juno and wants to retransform Io
(Giovanni Benedetto Castiglione, 1610-1665) Ovid, Met. I, 733-737


赫拉將變成母牛的伊娥交給阿耳戈斯（Argus，在希臘語「Argus」是「明亮的」、「明察秋毫」之意）看守，Argus 有100顆眼睛，睡覺時眼睛輪流閉，總有一大沱眼睛睜著亮亮的，所以當他看管東東的時候，可真是夜以繼日毫不鬆懈。

Argos watches Io, whereever she stays.
( Susan Seddon Boulet) Ovid, Met. I, 628-629


不只是宙斯無機可乘，Io真的就這麼困在牛的身體裡面，有天她被放在 Olympus 山上吃草的時候，看到父親和姐妹們一路找來，但沒有一個認得她，Io變成了心碎的奴隸 。

宙斯見情人變成牛後受苦，不過他想起海爾墨斯在很小的時候就偷走阿波羅的牛群，他就叫這個小偷王、愛胡鬧的海爾墨斯(Hermes)想辦法。
