[2] Greek Anthology 5.262.4 (attributed to Paul the Silentiary). In mythology, Hera had bound Io (iota 453), daughter of Inachus (cf. iota 367), to a tree and had multiple-eyed Argus (Argos [Myth, Place]) stand watch over her; OCD4 s.v. Argus(1). In the epigram, the poet compares the watchful nurse of his love interest to Argus. Another quote from this epigram is at alpha 1683.
