Argus in Pop Culture

Argus Panoptes (or Argos) was a 100-eyed primordial greek giant. He was a servant to the goddess Hera. In his servitude, his greatest achievement was slaying Echidna, the mother of all monsters. During his servitude, Hera discovered Zeus tried to hide one of his lovers, Io, by turning her into a white cow. Hera tied Io to a sacred olive tree and tasked Argus to guard Io. When Zeus learned about this, he had Hermes slay the giant. Hermes took the form of a shepherd and put Argus to sleep, then killed him. After his death, Hera honored his servitude by removing all but two of his eyes and placing them on a peacock, her favorite bird.
