The name "Europe" comes from Europa, a character in Greek mythology. One day, Zeus, the King of the Gods, was looking down and saw that Europa was super hot and, given that the Greek Gods were the biggest sexual deviants ever, decided to go to the surface in the form of a bull, flipped her onto his back and ran off, and had sex with her...while still a bull. This encounter created the minotaur, a half man-half bull freakshow that was locked in a labyrinth and given human sacrifices to eat.
Given this info, is Europa a fitting namesake for the continent?

Tell me about the European, why does he worship the black bull?

It is, we have the strength of a bull and being the son of gods we have the highest intellect humanity ever achieved. It's pretty fitting if you ask me. As a colony you shouldn't mock your creators.

I forgot to mention that Theseus, another Greek God love child (fathered by Poseidon), killed the minotaur after breaking off one of his horns and stabbing him with it.

Americans get bossed around by a bull and make it a part of their culture. Europeans don't need protective gear to dominate it. It's quite telling about our differences
Wyatt Walker
Europa was not the mother of the minotaur. That was Pasiphae, the wife of Europa's son Minos.

>After he ascended the throne of the island of Crete, Minos competed with his brothers to rule. Minos prayed to Poseidon, the sea god, to send him a snow-white bull, as a sign of support (the Cretan Bull). He was to kill the bull to show honor to the deity, but decided to keep it instead because of its beauty. He thought Poseidon would not care if he kept the white bull and sacrificed one of his own. To punish Minos, Poseidon made Pasiphaë, Minos's wife, fall deeply in love with the bull. Pasiphaë had craftsman Daedalus make a hollow wooden cow, and climbed inside it in order to mate with the white bull. The offspring was the monstrous Minotaur. Pasiphaë nursed him, but he grew and became ferocious, being the unnatural offspring of a woman and a beast; he had no natural source of nourishment and thus devoured humans for sustenance. Minos, after getting advice from the oracle at Delphi, had Daedalus construct a gigantic labyrinth to hold the Minotaur. Its location was near Minos' palace in Knossos.
That's even more fucked up.

Is pic an actual painting (or copy thereof) or something recent that was just "inspired" by Greek paintings?
