英语词汇argus-eyed的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	argus-eyed
词源	argus-eyed. In Greek mythology the hundred-eyed Argus was chosen by the jealous Zeus to guard over the nymph Io, even though he had turned his love into an unattractive cow. Apparently he grew jealous of Argus, too, for he had him killed and transferred his eyes to the peacock’s tail—which is, accord- ing to tradition, why it looks the way it does. Argus managed to live on in name only, argus-eyed still meaning vigilant.
