Hermes tells a story to lull Argus to sleep, eventually causing all of his eyes to close and enabling Hermes to kill him.
He tried to lull the him to sleep disguised a a shepherd, but when that didn't work he started talking in a really monotonous voice and it was so boring that he fell asleep. Then Hermes chopped off his head and had it for dinner.
Argus Panoptes is killed by Hermes while guarding Zeus' love Io so he does not cheat on Hera. Zeus sends Hermes to kill Argus and retrive Io. Later Hera takes Argus' eyes and in honor of him adds them to her favorite bird, the peacock.
Well, honey, when Hermes offed old Argus, his eyes ended up on the tail of a peacock. So next time you see one of those fancy birds strutting around, just remember they've got a little monster mojo going on back there. Nature is wild, isn't it?
Greek myth:Zeus was having an affair with the nymph Io. Hera, Zeus's wife, found out about it. Zeus changed Io into a white heifer. Hera sent her servant Argus to watch the cow. Argus had one hundred eyes, and when he slept some of them were always open, so he could see in his sleep. Zeus sent Hermes to save Io. Hermes played a lullaby on his flute, and as each of Argus's eyes shut, Hermes touched it with his magic wand and sealed it shut. Finally all of Argus's eyes were shut, and the cow ran away (according to some legends all the way to Egypt, but that's another story). Hermes killed Argus, and Hera, to honor Argus put the eye pattern on the peacock's tail forever.
Argus, the creature Hera had protect Io from escaping, but Hermes killed it in order to free Io, so Hera put its 100 eyes on her peacock
There was only one Argus in greek mythology. Argus was a monster with eyes all over his body. He was the special servant Hera, who was queen of the Gods. He was sent to guard a cow named Io. This cow was previously a lover of Zeus, Hera's husband. When Zeus heard Hera coming, he transformed Io into a cow. Hera, knowing of Zeus' trickery asked him for the cow. It being such a small gift he had to give it to her. Anyways, Argus guarded that cow in the Garden of the Hesperides, Hera's garden. Zeus felt bad for Io though, so he sent his son Hermes to get Io. Hermes started droning on to Argus about this and that until Argus closed all his eyes and Hermes touched each one with his magical death wand. He then cut his head off. It rolled down the hill and Hera caught it. To respect him she placed his eyes on the tail of a peacock. I give long wikianswer answers! Hope this helped!
Zeus had kidnapped the maiden Io, and turned her into a cow. Hera took Io and sent the one hundred eyed Argus to guard her. Zeus was very angrey (don't know why) and sent his son Hermes to bore Argus. Argus became so bored over the continuous yaping of Hermes that he closed all of his eyes thus killing himself. Hera then took all of his eyes and put them on her pet phesant thus making it a peacock.
