According to Greek Mythology, Europe was a beautiful Phoenician princess (today's Lebanon), who was abducted by Zeus in the form of a bull, brought to Crete-Greece, and born three sons – Minos, Rhadamanthys, and Sarpedon, who all became judges on the Underworld. Zeus was the father of all the children of Europe but he asked her to marry Asterion, the king of stars. And she did. Europe in Greek means broad face. The continent takes after her name.
