Αργότερα, έχτισε το Άργος. Όταν η Ήρα και ο Ποσειδώνας ανταγωνίζονταν για την προστασία του βασιλείου του Άργους, απευθύνθηκαν στους ποταμούς Ίναχο, Αστερίωνα και Κηφισό, για να διαιτητεύσουν στη διαμάχη. Ο Ίναχος τάχθηκε υπέρ της Ήρας και ο Ποσειδώνας, για να τους τιμωρήσει, αποτράβηξε τα νερά από ολόκληρη την περιοχή, με αποτέλεσμα να ρέει νερό στους τρεις ποταμούς, μόνον όταν εκείνος αποφάσιζε να ρίξει βροχή. Σύμφωνα με άλλη εκδοχή ο Δίας ξέρανε τον ποταμό Ίναχο με κεραυνό του, γιατί, όταν ο Δίας άρπαξε την κόρη του βασιλιά Ίναχου, την Ιώ, ο βασιλιάς τον κυνηγούσε και εξαπέλυε εναντίον του Δία βρισιές και κατάρες.

In Greek mythology, Inachus, Inachos or Inakhos (Ancient Greek: Ἴναχος) was the first king of Argos after whom a river was called Inachus River, the modern Panitsa that drains the western margin of the Argive plain.

For modern scholars, Inachus is the most ancient god or hero of Argos. According to Robert Graves, he was a descendant of Iapetus while most modern mythologists understand Inachus as one of the river gods, all sons of Titans Oceanus and Tethys and thus to the Greeks, part of the pre-Olympian or "Pelasgian" mythic landscape. In Greek iconography, Walter Burkert notes, the rivers are represented in the form of a bull with a human head or face. Although these myths have been passed down since then, one of the most remarkable findings of modern archaeology was the monuments and remains showing that Argos had indeed been an ancient civilization alongside Egypt and Babylonia.

As rivers are generally fertile, Inachus had many children, the chief of whom were his two sons, Phoroneus and Aegialeus or Phegeus, and his two daughters, Io and Philodice, wife of Leucippus. The mother of these children was variously described in the sources, either an Oceanid named Melia, called the mother of Phoroneus and Aegialeus, or another Oceanid named Argia, called the mother of Phoroneus and Io. Io is sometimes confused as the daughter of Inachus and Melia but she is the daughter of Inachus alone. Io was born from Inachus' mouth technically making her Inachus and Melia's daughter because she was born while Inachus was married to Melia. Aside from the Inachians of whom he was simply the back-formed eponym, his other children include Mycene, the eponym of Mycenae, the spring nymph Amymone, Messeis, Hyperia, Themisto (mother of Arcas by Zeus) and possibly Teledice. Argus Panoptes was also called the son of Inachus as what Asclepiades also asserted.
