Europa | Greek Princess

Europa (Greek: Εὐρώπη), in Greek mythology, was the daughter of the king of Phoenicia, Agenor, and sister of Cadmo. She was kidnapped by Zeus who disguised himself as a bull so that his jealous wife, Hera, would not notice. He took Europa to the island of Crete, which led Cadmium to seek her out and, on the journey, found the city of Thebes. On Crete, Europa had three sons: Minos, Radamanto, and Sarpedon.
