Europe Italy

The full name of Europe is Europe, and English is Europe. There are some legends about the origin of the name Europe. In Greek mythology, Demeter is the goddess who specializes in farming. She blesses the world with abundant crops and prosperous people and animals. In the portraits of this goddess, people always paint her sitting on the back of a bull. In ancient times, the bull was an indispensable farm animal for human beings. Since the goddess was in charge of farming, she naturally sat on the back of the bull. Another name of the goddess is Europa, and people call Europa the name of the continent out of respect for the goddess. In addition, there is a widely circulated legend: Zeus, the king of gods, took a fancy to Europa, the beautiful daughter of the Phoenician king, and wanted to marry her, but he was afraid that she would not agree. One day, Europa was playing by the sea with a group of girls. When Zeus saw it, he quickly turned into a vigorous and docile bull and came to Europa. When Europa saw this lovely bull lying beside him, he stepped on the back of the bull. As soon as Zeus saw Europa fall into the trap, he immediately stood up and walked forward, avoiding the crowd, then took off, and then jumped into the sea to break the waves and took Europa to a distant land to live together.
