- "The priestess Io did Zeus pursue. As a cloud his love was true."
- ―Assassin's Creed: Odyssey[src]
Io was a mortal Argive priestess in Greek mythology. As one of the lovers of the Greek god Zeus, Io became the ancestress of numerous Greek legendary figures, including Perseus, Herakles, Kadmos, and Minos.
Legacy and influence
During the Peloponnesian War, Athenian spies sought the help of mercenaries by using stories of Zeus' dalliances. One of those used featured Io's story.[1]
In 2012 Clay Kaczmarek included Io in a set of puzzles he'd hidden within the Animus for his follower to find. In Clay's puzzle it was suggested that Io's story was one of those in which "the seeds were planted as two worlds became one."[2]
