Piris were the first inhabitants of ancient Greece. Their king is Inakos. He has a beautiful daughter named io. Once, Io was herding sheep for her father at Lerner Ranch. The owner of the holy mountain of Olympus fell in love with her at first sight. The love in Zeus's heart grew stronger and stronger, so he disguised himself as a man and came to the world to seduce and tease Io with sweet words: "Oh, young girl, how happy people who can have you are!" But no mortal in the world is worthy of you. You are only fit to be the wife of the king of gods. To tell you the truth, I am Zeus, you don't have to be afraid! It's sultry at noon. Come with me and rest in the shade on the left. Why torture yourself in the hot noon sun? You go into the dark Woods, don't be afraid, I am willing to protect you. I am a god who sticks to the scepter of heaven and can send lightning directly to the ground. "

The girl was so scared that she ran like hell to escape his temptation. If God had not exercised his power and plunged the whole area into darkness, she would have escaped. Now, she is wrapped in a cloud. She slowed down for fear of hitting a rock or falling into the water. Therefore, it fell into the hands of Zeus.

Hera, the mother of the gods, is the wife of Zeus. She has long been familiar with her husband's infidelity. He turned his back on his wife, but he was addicted to love with the daughter of a mortal or a demigod. Hera's suspicion is growing day by day, and she closely monitors all her husband's pleasure-seeking behavior on earth. At this time, she was suddenly surprised to find that there was a place on the ground that was foggy in sunny days. That's unnatural. Hera immediately became suspicious and looked for her unfaithful husband. She looked everywhere for the holy mountain of Olympus, but she couldn't find Zeus. "If I'm not mistaken," she said to herself angrily, "my husband must be doing something that hurts my feelings!" So she drove the cloud to the ground and ordered the dense fog wrapped in bait and prey to disperse quickly.

Zeus expects his wife to come. In order to let his beloved girl escape his wife's revenge, he turned Inakos's lovely daughter into a snow-white heifer. Even after this, the handsome Io is still beautiful. Hera immediately saw through her husband's trick, praised the beautiful animal for a pretence, and asked whose heifer it was and what kind it was. Embarrassed, Zeus had to lie that cattle were only creatures on the ground and were pure-bred. Hera pretended to be satisfied with his answer, but asked her husband to give her this beautiful animal as a gift. What should a swindler do now? He is in a dilemma: if he agrees to her request, he will lose his lovely girl; If you refuse her request, it will inevitably arouse her suspicion and jealousy, and as a result, the unfortunate girl will be maliciously retaliated. After careful consideration, he decided to give up the girl temporarily and give this gorgeous heifer to his wife. Hera pretended to be satisfied, tied a belt around the heifer's neck and proudly took the robbed girl away. However, although the goddess cheated the cow, she still felt uneasy. She knows that if she can't find a reliable place to place her rival in love, her heart will never be at peace. So she found Alistair's son Argos. This monster seems to be particularly suitable for the guard's job. He has a hundred eyes. When he sleeps, he closes only one pair of eyes, and the others are open, shining like stars, bright and sacred.

Hera hired Argos to look after poor Io, so that Zeus could not take away his fallen lover. Under the close watch of Argos's one hundred eyes, Io grazed on the grass full of rich grass all day. Argos always stood near her, staring at her with one hundred eyes, faithfully performing his duties as a guard. Sometimes, his back is turned to the girl, but he can still see the girl because he has eyes on the front and back of his forehead. When the sun went down, he chained her neck. She eats bitter grass and leaves, sleeps on hard and cold ground and drinks dirty pool water, because she is a heifer. Io often forgets that he is not human anymore. She wanted to stretch out her poor hands and beg for Argos's pity and sympathy, but it suddenly occurred to her that she had no arms. She wanted to shout at him with touching words, but when she opened her mouth, she could only scream at Cleisthenes, which startled her. Argos didn't always guard her in the fixed pasture, because Hera told him to constantly change Io's residence, which made it difficult for Zeus to find her. In this way, the guards in Io led her to eat grass everywhere. One day, Io found herself back in her hometown, a river where she used to play when she was a child. At this time, Io saw his face from the clear river for the first time. When a horned animal head appeared in the water, she was so scared that she took a step back and didn't dare to look again. With attachment to her sisters and her father Inakos, she came to them, but they didn't know her. Inakos stroked her beautiful body and stroked a handful of leaves from a small tree to feed her. Io gratefully licked his hand and kissed with tears, but the old man knew nothing. He didn't know who he was touching just now, and he didn't know who was thanking him.

Finally, Io came up with a way to save himself. Although she became a heifer, her mind was not damaged. At this time, she began to draw a line on the ground with her feet, which attracted her father's attention. Inakos soon knew from the words on the ground that it was his daughter standing in front of him. "God, I am an unfortunate person!" The old man exclaimed, stretched out his arms and hugged the victim's daughter's neck tightly. "I ran all over the country looking for you, I didn't expect you to be like this! Alas, seeing you is more sad than not seeing you! Why don't you talk? Poor thing, you can't give me a word of comfort, you can only answer me with A Niu's jiao! I used to be so stupid that I wanted to choose a suitable husband for you, buy you a bride torch and get married later. Now, you have become a cow ... "Inakos's words haven't finished yet. The cruel guard Argos snatched Io from Inakos and took her away. Then, he climbed a high mountain and looked around warily with his one hundred eyes.

Zeus couldn't stand the girl's long-term torture. He called his son Hermes to his side and ordered him to use a series of tricks to induce Inakos to close all his eyes. Hermes left his father's palace with a sleepy stick and came to earth. He took off his hat and wings and looked like a shepherd with only a stick. Hermes called a flock of sheep to follow him and came to the grass. This is where Io chews young grass and Argos guards her. Hermes took out a shepherd's flute. Shepherd flute is antique, elegant and unique. He plays music more beautifully than the music played by human shepherds. Argos likes the charming flute very much. He stood up from the stone sitting on a high place and shouted down, "Piper, whoever you are, I warmly welcome you." Come, sit on the stone next to me and have a rest! The grass in other places is not more lush and tender than here. Look, how comfortable it is in the shade here! "

Hermes said thank you, then climbed up the hill and sat beside him. Two people began to talk. The more they talked, the more speculative they became, and before they knew it, the day was almost over. Argos yawned a few times, and one hundred eyes were sleepy. Hermes played the flute again, trying to put Argos to sleep. But Argos was afraid that his mistress would be angry and didn't dare to relax his duties. Although his 100 eyelids could hardly hold up, he struggled desperately with sleepiness, letting some eyes sleep first and the other eyes open, keeping a close eye on the heifer to prevent it from taking the opportunity to escape.
