ox-eyed
With big eyes
Ox-eyed means having large, round, prominent eyes, like those of an ox.
The term appears in classical literature—Homer famously calls the goddess Hera "ox-eyed Hera," suggesting beauty and majesty rather than bovine dullness.
The ox-eyed daisy is a common wildflower with large white petals around a yellow center.
