How many eyes did the giant Argus have?

Argus was said to be a monster who had 100 eyes.



In Greek mythology, Argus Panoptes or Argos (?ργο?), brother to the nymph Io, was a giant with a hundred eyes. His epithet means all-seeing, reflecting that he was a very effective watchman, as only a few of the eyes would sleep at a time; there were always eyes still awake. Argus was Hera's servant. His great service to the Olympian pantheon was to slay the chthonic serpent-legged monster Echidna as she slept in her cave. Hera's last task for Argus was to guard a white heifer from Zeus. She charged him to "Tether this cow safely to an olive-tree at Nemea". Hera knew that the heifer was in reality Io, one of the many nymphs Zeus was coupling with to establish a new order. To free Io, Zeus had Argus slain by Hermes. Hermes, disguised as a shepherd, first put all of Argus's eyes asleep with boring stories. To commemorate her faithful watchman, Hera had the hundred eyes of Argus preserved forever, in a peacock's tail .How many eyes did the giant Argus have?
100



ARGOS (or Argus) PANOPTES was a hundred-eyed giant of Argos in the Peloponnese.

Once when Zeus was consorting with the Nymph Io, Hera suddenly came upon them. The god quickly transformed his lover into a white heifer. The goddess was not deceived and craftily demanded the animal from her husband as a gift. She then appointed Argos Panoptes to guard the heifer.

Zeus sent Hermes to rescue his lover. The god first tried to lull the giant to sleep with his music, but failing that, despatched him with his sword. It was from this endeavour that he earned the title Argeiphontes (the slayer of Argos).

Hera nevertheless rewarded Argos for his service by placing his hundred eyes on the tail of the peacock, her sacred bird.

he had 100 eyes
Argus Panoptes (Argus "all eyes") is a giant with a hundred eyes. He was also the nymph Io's brother.



Hermes killed him - by stoning Argus to death, or according to others, by sending him to sleep by the sweetness of his play on the flute and then cutting off his head. Hera transplanted his eyes to the tail of the peacock, her favourite bird. (Aeschyl. Prom. ; Apollod. Ov. ll. cc.)How many eyes did the giant Argus have?
