INA'CHIA, I'NACHIS, INACHIO'NE
Ἰναχείη, (
Ἰναχιώνη), frequently occur as surnames of Io, the daughter of Inachus. (
Verg. G. 3.153;
Ov. Fast. 3.658,
Met. 9.686; Aeschyl.
Prom. 591; Callim.
Hymn. in Dian. 254.) Epaphus, a grandson of Inachus, bears the same surname (
Ov. Met. 1.753); and so also Perseus, merely because he was born at Argos, the city of Inachus. (
Ov. Met. 4.719.)
