On the constellation myth of Taurus;

Taurus is the incarnation of Zeus, the god of gods. Legend has it that Zeus coveted the beauty of Europa, the daughter of Phoenician emperor Gunnold. Europa often played with friends on the beach in Tyre, so Zeus asked his son Hermes to herd cattle on a nearby hill. Zeus turned into a cow mixed with cattle and took the opportunity to approach Europa who was playing.

Because this cow is unusually white, its horns are shining, and Europa is deeply attracted by this cow. The white cow kissed Europa's hand and motioned for Europa to ride on it. Europa was young and ignorant, and he was really caught. The white cow has been carrying Europa across the ocean and cunningly swam to deeper waters, forcing Europa to hug it tightly. Finally, the white bull landed in Crete, revealing its true colors.

Zeus won the favor of Europa, and Europa also gave birth to many sons for Zeus, including Minos, the emperor of Crete. To commemorate this event, Zeus represented his white bull and Taurus in the sky, and named the continent where they met Europa, which is today's Europe. Only the upper body of the white cow is shown in the map, because the lower body is submerged in the water and can't be seen. ?
