TAURUS (The Bull)



One pleasant early afternoon, Europa the daughter of King Phoenix was plucking grass by the side of the river when a great snow-white bull appeared as if from nowhere, and approached her. Astonished by the beauty of the bull, she forgot her caution and sat on the bull's back. Immediately the bull sprang towards the sea with tremendous power and in an instant was galloping over the water as if it were land. The bull was actually Zeus, the King of the Gods, in another form. Zeus carried off Europa across the Mediterranean Sea to the Grecian island of Crete, where he married her. Ever since that time, the land to which Europa was carried by the bull has been known by the name 'Europe.'
