ogcma s.v. "Europa"
Classical Sources:

Reuben Nakian, "Europa and the Bull", 1945, bronze, 10 x 9.5 x 4.5", Private Collection, Nakian Atelier no. 30.013.
Nakian engaged the myth of Europa throughout his career in several media. Some of his works are entitled "Voyage to Crete" and others "Europa [and the bull". Reid lists seven discreet entries, but each is multifaceted and there should be more.
