Io is sometimes called Phoronis. Io at some point landed at Damalis, and the Chalcedonians erected a bronze cow on the spot. Io as Isis Lygdus and his wife, Telethusa, were a poor couple living in Crete. When Telethusa became pregnant, her husband told her that they can't afford having a daughter, and that they have no other option than to kill the child if it would be a daughter. 8 months later Io, later in the story mentioned as Isis, came in a vision to Telethusa telling her that she should keep her daughter when it's born and must tell her husband that it's a boy named Iphis. Later in the story, Isis (Io) changes Iphis' sex when she is supposed to marry her fiancée, Ianthe. Gallery Notes References Aeschylus, Suppliants in Persians. Seven against Thebes. Suppliants.
