ARGUS & IO
translated by Tony Philippou
Hera suspects that her husband the Lightning god Zeus is out with a mistress named Io. Which is exactly what was going down. Zeus anticipating his wife's desire to chastise him in his treachery seeks a more elusive solution. He turns Io into a beautiful white heifer.
Not buying that shit, Hera demands that he give her the Heifer. Reluctantly Zeus does so and Hera places Io under the watch of a giant named Argus. With a hundred eyes Argus watched over Io before being slain by Hermes on a reconnaissance mission ordered by Zeus. It is said that Hermes lulled the one hundred eyed giant to sleep with his acoustic guitar and then merked him, meaning he caught a bad one.
In remembrance of Argus, Hera placed his one hundred eyes in the plumage of a peacock. So now you Know and you can't say that you don't. NAHMEAN.
