Approaching Matala
In the little bay you see there Zeus is said to have arrived with the Phoenician princess Europa, whom he had abducted in the Levant.
"The Dictionary of Classical Mythology explains that Zeus was enamoured of Europa. [...] He transformed himself into a tame white bull and mixed in with her father's herds. While Europa and her helpers were gathering flowers, she saw the bull, caressed his flanks, and eventually got onto his back. Zeus took that opportunity and ran to the sea and swam, with her on his back, to the island of Crete. He then revealed his true identity, and Europa became the first queen of Crete." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Europa_(consort_of_Zeus)
The result of the intercourse they had in a place I'll show you later was Minos, the first king of Crete.
The continent Europe is named after Europa.
