It is said that Hermes came down to earth disguised as a shepherd and sitting beside Argus 1, told him so many tales that all of Argus 1's eyes fell asleep. Then Hermes beheaded him with a hooked sword. Hera (Zeus' old lady), took the eyes of Argus 1 and set them on the feathers of the peacock, which is her favorite bird. The eyes of Argus 1 are in the feathers of the peacock. |
