== Mythology ==
* This trope is [[Older Than Feudalism]] with [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/Argus_Panoptes:Argus Panoptes|Argos Panoptes]], or Argos Many-eyes, a giant in Greek mythology who had four eyes (or two faces) in early versions of his myth, and 100 eyes all over his body in later stories.
* Descriptions of Angels in ''[[The Bible (Literature)|The Bible]]'' portray them as having multiple eyes, wings, and heads (and many combinations thereof). Since most of these are in the symbol-heavy apocalyptic genre, they are probably not meant to be taken literally.
 
Line 196:
* Triops http://eidolon.co.uk/page/triops, small crustaceans popular as low-maintenance pets similar to brine shrimp (sea-monkeys), have a small third median eye (hence the name).
* Many species of giant clam have multiple eyes lining the outside of their shells.
* [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/:Teratoma |Teratomas]]. These are (usually, though not always) benign tumors that can appear anywhere in the body, and may feature a hodgepodge of different body parts, including eyes, hair, and teeth.
