Ino - Ino

Japanese: イノ - いの
Ino - Ino

…When Zeus fell in love with her and gave birth to a child, his wife Hera, jealous of her, deceived her and asked Zeus, who had the power of thunder, to visit her in his original form as a god. She was struck by lightning and burned to death, but Zeus took the baby from her womb, sewed it into his own thigh, and waited until the baby was born.
