Argus Panoptes
In Greek mythology, Argus Panoptes or Argos (Άργος), guardian of the heifer-nymph Io and son of Arestor, was a giant with a hundred eyes. His epithet Panoptes was applied to the Titan of the Sun, Helios, and was taken up as an epithet by Zeus, Zeus Panoptes. "In a way," Walter Burkert observes, "the power and order of Argos the city are embodied in Argos the neatherd, lord of the herd and lord of the land, whose name itself is the name of the land."
