Description
This sculpture depicts Zeus (in his bull appearance) and Europa in a modern abstract shape. It is an illustration of one of the Greek myths.
Europa was a daughter either of Phoenix or of Agenor, king of Phoenicia. The beauty of Europa inspired the love of Zeus, who approached her in the form of a white bull and carried her away from Phoenicia to Crete. There she bore Zeus three sons: Minos, ruler of Crete; Rhadamanthys, ruler of the Cyclades Islands; and, according to some legends, Sarpedon, ruler of Lycia.
