Mythology
In Greek mythology, Taurus is associated with Zeus, who transformed himself into a magnificent white bull to win the affections of the Phoenician princess Europa. The bull was breathtakingly beautiful, with snow-white hide and gem-like horns. When Europa climbed onto the bull's back, Zeus carried her across the sea to Crete, where she became the first queen of the island. The constellation was placed in the sky to commemorate this tale of divine desire and transformation. The Taurus constellation is one of the oldest recognized, with references dating back to the Early Bronze Age.
