and watching her life unfolding in a minute in front of her

Sacrilegious hand yet so dear, the one of Pygmalion her brother,
was stabbing her husband, great Phoenician priest of Tyre,
in the sacred precinct of the temple, as he was offending

Kidnaping
of Europe (126cm x 96cm)
The legend
of Cadmus reflects an early western semitic penetration into
mainland Greece. Put together from later sources, the story
tell us that Cadmus, son of Agenor King of Tyre, upon the
disappearance of his sister, Europa, (kidnapped by Zeus whist
transformed into the quise of a white bull) was sent by his
father to search for her with instructions not to retune without
her.
The bull took Europa firstly to Crete and than on to what
is now referred to as mainland Europe (which takes its name
from Europa). |
