She was also playing with her companions and was gathering flowers in a beautiful landscape on the shore of Tyre or Sidon, where her father reigned. There Zeus saw her. To approach her, he transformed into a calm white bull, with horns like a crescent moon. He went and laid down at the girl&#8217;s feet. The girl suddenly felt a desire to sit on his back. Fast as lightning, the bull got up and rushed into the sea so that Europe would not have time to get off and no one would have time to intervene. On their way to Crete, they were accompanied by dolphins, Nereids, Tritons, and God Poseidon.<\/p>\n<p>Holding the bull\u2019s horns as tight as possible, Europe finally descended from the animal&#8217;s back at Gortyna. There, the Hours prepared the bridal bed in the Diktaion cave, the birthplace of Zeus. Other tree worshipping stories say that they were by the river Litheos under the plane trees that never lost their foliage. \u00a0Zeus&#8217;s gifts to the bride were: Talos a bronze giant who protected Crete, a golden dog who never missed any prey, and, a quiver with arrows that did not fail. From the union of the couple emerged three children, Minos, Sarpidonas, Rhadamanthus.<\/p>\n<h2>Analyzing the Death of Europe<\/h2>\n<p>People worshiped Europe after her death under the name Ellotis. During Ellotia, a celebration of joy for the resurrection of nature, they wove a huge wreath. The perimeter was about nine meters. They tied it around the thighs of her statue. Athenaeus says that in this wreath the bones of Europe circled in procession. As for the bull in which Zeus was transformed, he was immortalized as the homonymous constellation between the signs of the zodiac. Therefore, the female remains on earth, while the male is in heaven.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5567\" style=\"width: 597px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5567\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5567\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Apulian_red-figure_dinos_in_the_Eskenazi_Museum_of_Art_scene_of_the_abduction_of_Europa.jpg\" alt=\"God Zeus in the form of a bull abducting the Phoenician princess Europa\" width=\"587\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Apulian_red-figure_dinos_in_the_Eskenazi_Museum_of_Art_scene_of_the_abduction_of_Europa.jpg 587w, https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Apulian_red-figure_dinos_in_the_Eskenazi_Museum_of_Art_scene_of_the_abduction_of_Europa-480x395.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Apulian_red-figure_dinos_in_the_Eskenazi_Museum_of_Art_scene_of_the_abduction_of_Europa-340x280.jpg 340w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 587px) 100vw, 587px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-5567\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><strong> God Zeus in the form of a bull abducting the Phoenician princess Europa\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/strong>Photo Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Apulian_red-figure_dinos_in_the_Eskenazi_Museum_of_Art,_scene_of_the_abduction_of_Europa.jpg\">Katolophyromai<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<h2>How to Perceive the Myth of Europe<\/h2>\n<p>This attitude allows us to perceive the myth of Europe and Jupiter as a variation of the union of Heaven and Earth. Moreover, Pre-Socratic philosophers, such as Thales or Pherecydes, considered water as the beginning of everything. The earth, the islands, and land emerge from the waters. Furthermore, we can use the myth of Europe to describe the emergence of goddesses, such as Aphrodite. Finally, the name \u201cEurope\u201d could possibly be another way of saying \u201cEarth\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2>The Symbols in the Myth of Europe<\/h2>\n<p>The symbolism of the tree and its connection with religious rituals are located in the transitional stage from hunting to agriculture. For example, the period of collecting food from trees and wild plants. The development of the tree and the ripening of its fruits are associated with the changes in the seasons. Finally, they are identified with nature and the cycle of life. Cosmogenic symbols frame the sacred tree such as the sun and moon and are artistically standardized. The motif of the tree appeared early in Minoan pottery and in gold sealing rings. Sometimes perhaps to emphasize the rural character of Minoan society (Kamaraika vessels). But sometimes with the special symbolism of the life cycle.<\/p>\n<p>The Great Goddess, whose identification with nature is submitted to Mycenaean art in various ways, appears under the tree to receive offerings indicating scenes of outdoor worship or a worshiper brings a carcass to the sacred tree, in front of which is placed a mobile altarpiece. The tree, placed on an altar, is transported by ship or framed by two animals facing each other.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1155\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1.-The-Sacred-Tree-of-Kavousi1-780x585.jpg\" alt=\"minoan east crete private tour\" width=\"780\" height=\"585\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1.-The-Sacred-Tree-of-Kavousi1-780x585.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1.-The-Sacred-Tree-of-Kavousi1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1.-The-Sacred-Tree-of-Kavousi1-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1.-The-Sacred-Tree-of-Kavousi1-480x360.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/1.-The-Sacred-Tree-of-Kavousi1-340x255.jpg 340w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>The Symbol of the Tree<\/h2>\n<p>During the period of the Twelve Olympian Gods, we have the goddess Athena and her sacred tree, the olive tree. \u00a0In the non-iconic art of the Dark Ages, the motif of the tree survives, as well as in the iconographic rhythm that follows from the end of the 8th c. BC. Even in Crete, on staters (ancient coins) from Gortyna of the 4th c. \u00a0which are in the British Museum in London and Metropolitan Museum in New York, Europe, the daughter of Phoenix, is sitting on a tree and not on a bull.<\/p>\n<h2>Elissos Travelling Philosophy &#8212; Suggested Experiences to witness the Spiritual Wonders of Crete<\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_639\" style=\"width: 790px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-639\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-639\" src=\"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Mochlos-Island-780x517.jpg\" alt=\"minoan crete- private tour- elissos\" width=\"780\" height=\"517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Mochlos-Island-780x517.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Mochlos-Island.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Mochlos-Island-600x398.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Mochlos-Island-480x318.jpg 480w, https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Mochlos-Island-340x225.jpg 340w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 780px) 100vw, 780px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-639\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mochlos Island<\/p><\/div>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.elissos.com\/tour\/minoan-east-crete\/\">Minoan East Crete<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Your day will start visiting the amazing excavations of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Minoan_civilization\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Minoan<\/a> industrial small town, trading and arts center of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.co.uk\/maps\/place\/Gournia+Minoan+Town\/@35.1093962,25.7882581,17z\/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x1490877b3e59d6c7:0x89fde00174646d32!8m2!3d35.1093963!4d25.7927428\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gournia<\/a>.
