Hera gave the eyes of Argus Panoptes to the peacock.
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.
Argus was a giant with a hundred eyes, a guardian of Io. Hence an Argus is a watchful guardian.
