The ancient Greeks told stories about the creation of peacock eyes, recounting the tale of the many-eyed Argus, from whose eyes the goddess Hera crafted the peacock's ornamental feathers. Researchers in the 19th century must have recalled this mythical giant when they encountered a bird with extraordinary plumage in the jungles of Malaysia, which they named the Argus pheasant due to its decorative feathers dotted with eye-shaped spots.
