Final Jeopardy Answer for February 13
The correct answer for Final Jeopardy on February 13, 2025 is “Who is Argus?”
Not to be confused with the cyclops, Argus Panoptes is a giant that has a hundred eyes all over its body and was depicted as such on a lot of Athenian pottery. The goddess Hera originally assigned Argus to watch over her priestess Io who had been turned into a cow.
But the giant was later slain by Hermes (or Mercury), who was sent by Zeus to take Io. The god of thieves disguised himself as a goatherd and made Argus sleep by playing his pipes. He then beheaded the giant, bestowing Hermes the name Argeiphontes. Argus’s numerous eyes were then taken by Hera and placed into the tail of a peacock.
