Adler number: iota,636
Translated headword: Isis
Vetting Status: high
Translation: She is [sc. also] called Io.[1] She was snatched by Zeus from Argos [
Myth,
Place] and he, fearing Hera, changed her first into a white cow, then into a black one, and then into one that was violet-coloured. After wandering around with her, he came into Egypt. The Egyptians, then, honour Isis, and for this reason they carve the horns of a cow on the head of her statue, alluding to the change from maiden to cow.
