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."
