Viggen Posted October 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 For Homer, Europa was a mythological queen of Crete, not a geographical designation. Later Europa stood for mainland Greece and by 500 BC its meaning was extended to lands to the north. regards viggen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skarr Posted October 17, 2005 Report Share Posted October 17, 2005 I've always been a great fan of the ancient Greek myths, especially the myth of Zeus and Europa, which I've incorporated in some form through one of the characters in my book. The fun the gods had was just unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
