So Zeus took advantage of the princess and ladies-in-waiting to go to the seaside to play, emerged from the sea in the image of a snow-white bull, and lured Europa with extremely gentle eyes.

The princess was surprised. The maids felt it was dangerous and stopped her from getting close to the bull. But the bull looked very docile and beautiful, and was deeply fascinated by Europa, so she rode on the back of the big white bull with great interest, regardless of the discouragement of the maids.

But suddenly, the white cow began to run to the sea and jumped into the Aegean Sea. All the creatures in the sea salute the bull. After the A Niu barbarians arrived in Crete, Zeus showed his handsome appearance.

Leo, Latin: Leo, is said to have something to do with Hercules.

There is a man-eating lion living in Niemeishan Valley. This lion only eats livestock and villagers. Everyone is afraid of it, and its power is infinite. Many travelers have become ghosts in its belly.

One of Hercules' ten tests was to defeat the man-eating lion.

A man-eating lion is five times as big as an ordinary lion. Its skin is thick and invulnerable.

But later, the human beings in the whole world gradually became greedy and selfish, and the world began to smoke. When mankind degenerated to the point where the gods could not bear it, the angry gods decided to give up the degenerate race of mankind.

So Pandora's ink box appeared in the world, followed by endless disasters. Earthquakes, floods, hail and pestilence claimed countless lives.
