ARGUS 100 EYES BLUE SHORT SLEEVE SHIRT
ARGUS 100 EYES BLUE FRENCH LINEN SHORT SLEEVE SHIRT LIMITED EDITION of 100
A pair of lithographic prints depicting several deities from the Greek pantheon: the artworks feature Hera, Hermes, Zeus, and a strange being adorned with multitudes of eyes.
FURTHER READING
The Greek gods stand apart in their apparent infallibility, yet they are often depicted as being marred by jealousy, wrath, and vengeance—an imperfection rooted in reality and moral complexities.
The story of ‘Argus with one hundred eyes’ is one among many Greek myths. Argus, a giant from Argolis in the Peloponnese, had a body adorned with 100 eyes and was believed to never sleep. The explanation for his constant wakefulness lay in the ingenious design of his many eyes; only a fraction would slumber at a time, ensuring eternal watchfulness.
Hera, the goddess, bound Argus to her service. Among his notable feats for the Olympian pantheon was the slaying of the chthonic monster Echidna. Hera assigned Argus the task of guarding the white heifer from Zeus, keeping her chained to the sacred olive tree at the Argive Heraion.
Hera knew that the heifer was, in reality, Io, one of the many nymphs Zeus was coupling with to establish a new order. Wise to Zeus’s dalliances, Hera sought a sentinel with a hundred eyes, ever alert in all directions.
Zeus tasked Hermes, the divine messenger of the gods, to liberate Io from Argus. Disguised as a shepherd, Hermes spoke charms, lulling all of Argus’s eyes into slumber before delivering the fatal blow.
Argus’ death was the first stain of bloodshed among the new generation of gods. After beheading Argus, Hermes acquired the epithet Argeiphontes or “Argus-slayer”.
The sacrifice of Argus freed Io from her bovine form, allowing her to roam the earth. However, she was eternally tormented by a gadfly sent by Hera. Eventually, Io reached the Ionian Sea, named in her honour, and swam to Egypt, where she bore Zeus’s love child.
