I am Europa, the daughter of Phoenician king Agenor and queen Telephassa. I grew up in a royal family with my three brothers, Cadmus, Cilix, and Thasus, but our lives changed when Zeus took interest in me. He disguised himself as a white bull and abducted me from the shore of my homeland. I was taken to Crete where I eventually became the queen of King Minos and had three sons with him. While living on Crete, I missed my family back home and often longed for their company.
Despite being taken away from my family, I was able to maintain a sense of peace and serenity in my life. My husband Minos was a powerful king but he always treated me with respect and kindness. I never lost sight of who I was even when I was far from home.
As the sun began to set over the Mediterranean Sea, the sky turned into a beautiful shade of orange and pink. The waves lapped gently against the shore as I stood there, taking in the beauty of my surroundings. Despite being surrounded by such natural splendor, I couldn't help but feel a sense of tension in the air. However, even in that moment, I knew that everything would work out in the end.
My husband may have been strong and powerful, but he was also kind and gentle with me. His presence was inviting yet commanding, and it made me feel safe and secure. The mysterious allure of this setting only added to the sense of wonder and awe that I felt in my heart. Despite being taken away from my family, I never lost sight of who I was or where I came from. I may have been far from home, but I always carried a piece of it with me wherever I went.
