Epaphus - Mythology. Greek The son of the god Zeus and Io. Epaphus was born in Egypt. Hera, wife of Zeus, was jealous of Io and tormented her endlessly until Io, in the shape of a young white cow, eventually escaped to Egypt, where Zeus restored her to her human shape. There, Io bore her son. Hera, still jealous, ordered the Curetes to kidnap Epaphus. This they did, but Zeus destroyed the Curetes and rescued the child. Epaphus later became king of Egypt, where he built the great city of Memphis, capital of the Old Kingdom of ancient Egypt.
