The Taurus myth is most often interpreted as the story of Zeus and Europa‚ where the Greek god carried the Phoenician princess away to Crete to marry her by disguising himself as a white bull. Then I guess the bull‚ that was really Zeus‚ became the Taurus constellation‚ but not really‚ because now the bull and Zeus are different. The Scriptures of Delphi give us another possible explanation of the Taurus constellation‚ one that I find a bit more satisfying. According to the alternate myth‚ the mythology
