According to the myth, Zeus, the father of the gods, fell in love with a beautiful princess named Europa. He approached the lady of his heart by being transformed into a white bull while she played with their company. The girls, fascinated by the beauty of the robust and seemingly friendly animal, started to pet and play with the bull and at one point Europa tried to mount him. The bull jumped into the sea and abducted them and despite their tears, he brought the woman he loved to Crete.
