ZEUS and EUROPA<br />
Zeus was enamored of Europa and decided to seduce or ravish her. He<br />
transformed himself into a tame white bull and mixed in with her father's herds.<br />
While Europa and her female attendants were gathering flowers, she saw the bull,<br />
caressed his flanks, and eventually got onto his back. Zeus took that opportunity<br />
and ran to the sea and swam, with her on his back, to the island of Crete. He then<br />
revealed his true identity, and Europa became the first queen of Crete.<br />
