caption_attribution_description: English: Jupiter looks up with startled eyes at the enraged Juno, who is accompanied by the peacocks that are her attribute. Two figures pull back a cloth from the head of the transformed Io: Cupid, his bow at his feet, and an allegory of Deceit, wearing a mask.
context_page_description: Io was, in Greek mythology, one of the mortal lovers of Zeus. An Argive princess, she was an ancestor of many kings and heroes such as Perseus, Cadmus, Heracles, Minos, Lynceus, Cepheus, and Danaus. The astronomer Simon Marius named a moon of Jupiter after Io in 1614.
  Because her brother was Phoroneus, Io is also known as Phoronis.
  She was sometimes compared to the goddess Isis, whereas her Egyptian husband Telegonus was "Osiris".
