The peacock, symbolic animal

In ancient times, Hera, goddess of women and fertility, wife and sister of Zeus, was terribly jealous (it must be said that she had some reasons). Fortunately the faithful guardian of Hera, the giant Argos, with 100 eyes, watched the unfaithful husband night and day. When Argos was killed by Hermes, the goddess decided to honor him by giving the tail of his favorite animal, the peacock, 100 eyes. Then the peacock continued to fascinate the men. In the Middle Ages, it was made a symbol of immortality because it was thought that its flesh was rotten. A belief that did not protect the volatile, since it was considered a delicacy and put on the menu of the most sumptuous banquets. In the Middle East, the peacock is the symbol of the incorruptibility of the soul and the psychic duality of man. In India, the peacock is associated with fertility and revered.
