Entry 2: Greek Monster


I decide to choose a monster related to Hermes. I researched about Argus. He is a giant with a hundred eyes, who was also called Panoptes. Hera put him to guard Zeus, because Zeus was making an affair with other gods and humans. But Zeus sent Hermes to kill the giant. This is now the interesting part how Hermes killed Argus. As I have mentioned before Hermes is very clever. So he decides not to attack Argus directly because he knew that Argus can see him from every side. So Hermes started playing his instrument to put Argus in to a sleep. After Hermes putting Argus into a sleep he cuts the head of Argus and that was how Argus got killed. After Argus got killed Hera feels sympathy for him and makes him in to a peacock. Argus was a really strong monster that even Zeus couldn’t kill easily. However the smartness of Hermes has successfully killed Argus. Before his untimely end, Argus went into the fight business. He had already killed a very tough ravaging bull and Echidna, although he had to hit her when she wasn't looking.
