[[File:Tiziano El Rapto de Europa 1562.jpg|thumb|[[Titian]], The Rape of Europa, 1562.]]
'''Europa''' (meaning “broad browed”), according to [[Greek]] [[myth]], was the daughter of [[Agenor]], the [[king]] of [[Tyre]]. She was desired by [[Zeus]] who assumed the form of a bull (or, in another form of the myth, he sent a bull) which came from the sea as she played on the shore and so impressed Europa with its beauty and gentleness that she climbed upon its back.
