Classical Sources:

Reuben Nakian, "Voyage to Crete", ca. 1962-1963, abstract bronze miniature sculpture, 12.5 x 14 x 9", Stamford Museum and Nature Center, Stamford, CT, Nakian Atelier no. 30.085.
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.
