Gadfly to Golden Girdle of Ares Gordian Knot to Gyro
The common name for the fly that Hera sent to goad the heifer maiden, Io, so that she could have no rest and be forced to constantly keep moving.
Hera used the Gadfly to punish Io for something that she had neither caused or encouraged, i.e. the young maiden, Io, had attracted the attention of Zeus.
