Hera got Argus Panoptes to guard Io. Argus was a giant with many eyes, making him an effective watchman. Hera assigned him this task to keep Io, a mortal woman whom Zeus had turned into a cow to hide from her jealousy, under constant surveillance. Ultimately, Hermes was sent by Zeus to rescue Io and put an end to Argus's watch.

Why was Argus an enemie of Hermes?

Argus, a giant with many eyes, was tasked by Hera to guard Io, whom Zeus had transformed into a heifer to hide from Hera. Hermes, sent by Zeus to rescue Io, became an enemy of Argus when he cleverly lulled the giant to sleep with music and storytelling before ultimately killing him.
