Argus
Question Author
Thanks, johnalex. I'm sure you're right, but why not Argos? My dictionary gives Argus (guardian) from the Greek Argos.

argus, noun (with capital Argus) in Greek mythology, Io�s guardian, whose hundred eyes Hera transferred to the peacock�s tail.


This may have derived from the Greek word Argos but is as Argus that dictionaries and encyclopaedias etc show the word to be used as correct.
