Zeus' wife Hera, had suspected that her husband had fallen in love with the mortal Io and had changed his lover into a white heifer as disguise. Hera then asked Argus Panoptes, a giant with 100 eyes, to guard the disguised heifer. When Zeus found out the his lover was being guarded, he sent Hermes to kill Argus. After Hera found out of Argus' death, she distributed his eyes all over the tail of the peacock.
