A name for the giant Argus.
When Zeus attempted to seduce the beautiful maiden, Io; Hera suspected Zeus’ infidelity and did her best to keep Io and Zeus apart; Io was turned into a heifer and driven from her home; she was forced to wander the world followed by Argus, the Hundred Eyed giant and a gadfly to goad her so that she would be forced to travel farther and farther from her home and thus be out of the clutches of Zeus.
Argus was killed by Hermes and thus Hermes is often referred to as Argophontes, i.e. the slayer of Argus.
