Zodiac: The Story of Taurus

In the third century BC, in Alexander's time, the poet Moschus wrote poems.

One spring morning, Zeus was cruising when he suddenly found girls dancing and playing on the grass by the sea. Among them, Princess Europa, king of Phoenicia, was the most beautiful girl, and Zeus was deeply attracted by her.

At this time, naughty eros shot Cupid's arrow into Zeus' heart, which made him crazy. He fell in love with Europa, so Zeus turned into a beautiful and docile white cow to approach her. The bull has a silver ring on its forehead, and its horn is in the shape of a crescent moon. It smells good and makes a wonderful sound in its mouth, which makes Europa curiously touch and ride on this huge bull.

However, this bull jumped up wildly and took Europa at full speed. When they crossed the ocean, Poseidon also appeared to clear the way for them. At this time, the frightened Europa learned the identity of the bull and asked for forgiveness.

Zeus immediately confided his love to Europa and took Europa to a strange continent. Invite the gods of the four seasons to dress up for Europa and hold a grand wedding. Soon Zeus never returned, leaving Europa alone. Later, this continent was called Europa, which is now Europe, and the image of the bull was lifted to the sky by Zeus and turned into Taurus.
