Greek mythology, a giant with a hundred eyes whom the goddess Hera
made the guardian of the maiden Io. He was later slain by
Hermes, sent by Zeus to save the maiden, who lulled him
to sleep then killed him. After dying, Hera placed his
many eyes onto the tail of the peacock, her favorite
animal. His epithet Panoptes means "all-seing." |
