The Woman Who Rides the Bull

While doing some research for my eschatology class, I found this very interesting and would encourage you to do your own research on the subject.  According to Greek Mythology, there was a Phoenician princess named Europa who Zeus fell in love with.  In order to get her, he disguised himself as a white bull and tricked her into sitting on him.  He then swam with her on his back to Crete.  Today, the woman who rides the bull is one of the national symbols of Europe.  Very interesting in regards to Biblical Eschatology.

I've also attached a photo of the back of a Euro coin and a statue that is in front of the European Parliament in Strasbourg.
