In this picture, there is Io the heifer and Jove the cheater. In this story, Jove tries to hide the fact that he rapes Io behind his wife Juno’s back. He is so afraid that the fact is revealed so he changes his lovely Io into a heifer. What is interesting in this story is what happens right after Io transforms into a cow. Jove’s wife Juno actually feels suspicious about this beautiful but strange heifer and begins to notice that her husband has done something behind her back.
Like Medea’s typical emotional outburst as a woman, Juno also shows a typical reaction as a woman when something is wrong which is called woman’s instinct. In this picture, Juno looks suspicious about the heifer and the relationship between her husband and the heifer. She observes what is going on from outside of the circle, tries to capture the sense of being wronged. Juno follows her instinct and hires Argus who has a hundred eyes to watch this heifer. This story is not as intense as Medea; however, the story is very much like what is happening today’s society. The relationship between men and women has not been changed regardless of what generation you live in. Men are still doing what they are doing and women are still emotional about what is going on in their world.
