The First Peacock
Argos lived in Ancient Greece. He was a husband and a proud father. He worked hard and did well at his job. But one thing about him wasn't normal. He was born with 100 eyes. Having many eyes was usually a benefit to him. He had a chance to see many things.
古希腊有一个人名叫阿哥斯，他有妻子和孩子。他工作努力而且把工作做得很好。但是他有一样东西很不正常，那就是他有100只眼睛。这对他来说也是一种好处，因为可以有机会看到很多事物。
Also, since he had so many eyes, he was very good at guarding things. While sleeping, he only rested a few eyes at a time. The others stayed awake. He worked for Hera, a great goddess. His primary function was to guard a special cow. The cow was very important to Hera. It was her favorite pet. The most essential part of his job was to keep the cow alone. It had to be kept separate from all the other cows and far away from people.
而且，因为这个缘故，他警惕性很高。因为他每次睡觉时只会闭上其中几只眼睛而把其它的眼睛都睁着。他在大女神赫拉手底下工作，起初负责守卫一只特殊的奶牛。赫拉很看重这头牛，这是她最喜欢的宠物。他最重要的工作是把这只牛和其他牛隔离开，而且不许任何人靠近。
This was an easy job for Argos. The cow just ate grass all day. But the god Zeus wanted the cow. He wanted to take it away from Hera. He had a plan. He found a great music player. He asked the man to play a beautiful song for Argos. Zeus was certain Argos would go to sleep.
这份工作对于阿哥斯来说易如反掌，每天只是看牛吃草。然而，宙斯看上了这只牛，想要从赫拉手中将她夺走，并因此制定了一个计划。他找来一个顶级的演奏家，要求他演奏一曲美妙的歌曲，以此来让阿哥斯昏昏入睡。
The song had an immediate effect. Argos couldn't focus on his job. He fell asleep. Zeus saw this, and he took the cow.
这首歌果然奏效了，阿哥斯听到音乐后分了神并睡着了。宙斯趁机将牛夺走。
Hera was very angry with Argos. She turned him into a peacock. She put his many eyes on his tail. Argos was very sad.
赫拉对此非常生气，她将阿哥斯变成了一只孔雀，把他的许多眼睛长在尾巴上。阿哥斯为此非常伤心。
Zeus saw how much trouble he had caused Argos. He made another plan. He turned Argos into a group of stars. He wanted Argos to remain in the sky forever. Even today,Argos' image remains there, above the site where all his problems began.
宙斯明白过来自己给阿哥斯造成了很大的麻烦。所以他将阿哥斯变成了一片繁星，希望就此将他永远留在天庭。直至今日，阿哥斯犯错之地的上空仍留有痕迹。我们在夜晚仍然可以看到他。
We can still see him in the night sky.
