Argus Panoptes was the 100-eyed giant in Greek mythology, who was mandated to be a watchman. The perseverance of this mythical character allowed him to leave an imprint on folklore. His tale was that of the giant who had so many eyes that not all could rest at a time — rendering some of the eyes to be active at all times.

From the three-eyed Zeus to the third eye of Lord Shiva and the third eye of Lord Buddha, the third eye as a concept is associated with a sense of spiritual awakening and clarity.
