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.

Then she ordered Argus Panoptes her guard to watch after the cow since he had hundreds of eyes he was a great guard. Zeus after ordered Hermes to rescue her so he went to Argus, told him a very boring story to lull all of his pairs of eyes to asleep, then killed him. In reverence, Hera placed his many eyes on the tail plumage of her favorite bird, the peacock.
