Hermes tells a story to lull Argus to sleep, eventually causing all of his eyes to close and enabling Hermes to kill him.
You can't. He was a god, therefore he was immortal.
You can't, mythical gods are immortal.
Gaia never tried to kill Zeus; when the Gigantes, the race of Giants warred with Zeus and the Olympian gods, she had encouraged the Gigantes in this war because of her anger with Zeus, her grandchild, because how he had treated her children, the Titans.
Zeus didn't try to kill Apollo. Apollo lives on Olympus as the god of sun, young men and music, with his sister Artemis. Besides, all the Greek gods were supposed to be immortal, so they can't be killed.
Zeus had commanded the god Hermes to kill Argus, who was guarding Io.
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.

In Greek mythology, Hermes is not typically depicted as a killer. However, he is associated with the story of the Titan Argus, whom he kills on behalf of Zeus to free Io. Hermes is primarily known as the messenger of the gods, the god of trade, and a guide for souls to the underworld, rather than as a figure of violence or murder.
Usually he does not need one. On one occasion, though, he used a sword to kill Argus.
Well, he had to kill Argus (Odysseus, the Greek hero's prized hunting dog) at the order of Zeus (Hermes's father and the king of the gods) which he did by lulling it to sleep and cutting its head off. You're welcome.
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?
Hermes and Athena helped him on his quest to kill Medusa and Zeus was his father
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.
