ogcma s.v. "Europa"
Classical Sources:

Reuben Nakian, "Voyage to Crete", ca. 1970, bronze plaque for hanging, 15 x 21 x 2.5", Private Collection, Nakian Atelier no. 30.362.
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.
