The Greek mythology of the twelve constellations: the story of the golden bull

the taurus is from the third century alexander, the poem of the poet mosgus.

in the early morning of the spring, zeus suddenly found young girls dancing and playing in the grass by the sea, among them a princess of king phoenici agnor, the most beautiful girl named europa, whom zeus was deeply attracted to.

and then the naughty eros shot the arrows of love into the heart of zeus, and immediately drove him madly in love with europa, so zeus turned into a beautiful, gentle white bull to approach her.

this bull has a silver ring on his forehead, a double-angle moon shape, a scent on his body, and a beautiful sound in his mouth, which makes europa curiously caress and rides this giant bull.

but the bull jumped up and ran with europa, and when they passed through the sea, the sea gods now opened their way; it was only when the frightened europa realized his identity that he pleaded for forgiveness.

zeus immediately told europa of his love and brought europa to a strange continent.

he also invited the four seasons god to dress for europa and have a big wedding.

not long after zeus left europa alone.

later, the continent was called europa, europe now, and the image of the bull was raised to the sky by zeus to become a golden bull。
