It refers either to a many-eyed monster or to an aged, faithful hound of Odysseus. Accounts vary as to how many eyes Argus really had (they vary from three to one hundred). Anyway, it was set by Hera to watch Io, a woman whom Zeus loved and changed into a heifer to conceal his relations with her. Zeus had Hermes kill Argus, and then Hera turned it into a peacock. Referred to as a hound, Argus was the one who alone recognized Odysseus immediately after he returned to Ithaca in disguise. It is said that the loyal creature merely had time to thump its tail in recognition of its master before it died from senility.
