"Inakhos, a king of Argos, founded a city which he
named for the moon, Io, for that is what Argives call
the moon. He also had a daughter Io; Pekos who is also
Zeus abducted her and fathered a daughter, Libya, by
her. And Io, lamenting her ruin, fled to the Silpion
Mountain and there died. Her father and her brothers,
when they learned this, built a shrine to her and
called the place Iopolis and remained there until the
end. And they performed a ritual in her memory,
banging on each other's doors every year and saying
'io, io!" - Suidas (Byzantine Lexicographer) "Io"
