Argos was a giant with 100 eyes, spread all over his head. There are always fifty who sleep and fifty who watch, so that it is impossible to deceive his vigilance. Zeus, in love with Io, attracts the jealousy of his wife Hera. Zeus then transforms Io into a beautiful white heifer. Hera then decides to entrust it to Argos who keeps it to Nemea, to keep it away from Zeus. Zeus sends Hermes to play the pan flute to put him to sleep and then kill him by cutting off his head, and deliver Io. Despite her failure, Hera rewards the giant’s fidelity by transferring his eyes to the feathers of the peacock, her favorite animal.
