Argus was a 100-eyed giant who served the goddess, Hera. Argos never closed more than half of his eyes at once, so he never missed anything. At the behest of Hera, he killed Ekhidna and would later be given the task of guarding the nymph, Io, who was disguised as a cow. However, Zeus had Hermes kill Argos and Hera subsequently sent a gadfly to chase Io wherever she went and to continuously sting her.
