Io

A red figure vase painting of Io (as a cow) and Argus, with Hermes approaching.

Here is another red figure vase painting showing Hermes killing the many-eyed Argus, as Io (the cow) stands to the left.

Corregio was interested in showing Zeus/Jupiter as he made love to Io (before turning her into a cow!). Remember what gave him away to Juno in Ovid’s story?
