Zeus, the king of the gods, also known as Jupiter, was fond of having affairs behind Hera’s back. She discovered one of these affairs and captured the unlucky mistress, putting the young lady under the guard of Argus, a giant with one hundred eyes all over his body. When half of Argus’ eyes were asleep, the other half would still keep watch.

A fellow god in Zeus’ employ used charms to put all the eyes asleep. Killing the giant after that was an easy matter, and the mistress was returned to the arms of her paramour. Hera, in gratitude to Argus’ service, immortalized him by placing his eyes on the tail of the peacock.

Peacock Costumes For Adults

A peacock costume features the exaggerated fan of tail feathers that bear the eyes of Argus. The eyes form a stunning backdrop behind a woman dressed in a peacock costume. The tail can be raised in a fan behind the wearer, or it can be put down in a train, which is what a peacock’s tail is called by zookeepers.

While a lady may not be using the tail to attract a mate, the way peacocks in nature do, she will be dressed in a style that is the most striking in the animal kingdom.

A mask for a peacock Halloween costume should be in colors that match the bird’s colors. Blue-green to green in any combination will do. The fancier, the better, and the use of additional feathers on the mask is always a nice touch.
