For thousands of years the story of the abduction of the Tyrian Princess Europa by the Greek God Zeus inspired the minds of poets, historians, novelists, sculptors and painters. Masterpieces of art enhanced the galleries. Statues added to the beauty of public places. Tombs of the diseased had sculptures on their sides depicting the abduction. Likewise murals showed frescos of the scene of Europa’s abduction in full colors.
What was the power that produced such a great influence? No other story has been so much elaborately exhibited in all the forms of art and literature.
