A Lesson In The Uninhibited Love Life Of Greek Gods

 

If you had to describe Zeus, The Greek father of gods and men, in one word it would have to be “lusty.” After all, this omnipotent being didn’t stop at one wife—he married seven. His last wife, Hera, probably recognized that Zeus was one of the all-time womanizers and tried to keep a close eye on him. But despite Hera’s best efforts, Zeus is known to have taken at least 11 more lovers after their marriage. One of those youthful beauties was the goddess Europa, who Zeus was so enamored with that he took the form of a white bull in order to carry her off without Hera catching on to his libidinous scheme.

 

The Erotic Tale Of Zeus And Europa

 

That story has been brought to life on this gleaming coin that shows Europa mounted on the back of Zeus in his guise as a great horned white bull. The sun and its vibrant rays are rising in the background as Europa seems to be glancing sideways to see if they’re being followed. Struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.9% fine silver, the design recreates the famous Greek myth that saw Zeus kidnap the lovely goddess, and swim to the island of Crete where they had three children together, one of whom was Minos, ruler of Crete. As a token of his appreciation for Europa—and as a memento to one of his many sexual conquests—Zeus recreated the shape of the white bull in the heavens with a constellation known today as Taurus.
