Europa, "EvrOOpee", Greek Mythology


Europa; “EvrOOpee”: Her father is Agenor (agEEnor) (circa 2000 BC), and she is Phoenecian.  Zeus (“Zevs”) saw her picking flowers and fell in love with her. Zeus turned into the form of a white bull, took her from Phoenicia to Crete, where she became the first Queen of Crete. Her father Agenor, ordered his five sons to go find her and bring her back home to Phoenicia.  Agenor’s five sons are Cylix (“KEEleex”), Thasus (“Theises”), Phoenix (“FoEEneex”), Cadmus (“KAdthmos”), and Phineus (“FeenEvs”). Zeus and Evropa had three sons together, Sarpedon (was raised by King Asterion, banished by Minos, finding refuge with his Maternal Uncle Miletus, he conquered the Milyans, ruling over them as king of “Lycia”, his father Zeus allowed him to live for three generations), Rhadamanthys (“RadthAmanthees”) (was raised by King Asterion (“AsterEEon”), ruled Crete (“KrEEtee”) before Minos, established laws in Crete which were later adopted by the Spartans, Minos got jealous of him, so he kicked Rhadamanthys out of Crete, Rhadamanthys ended up in Boeotia where he married Alcmene, living in the “Elysian Fields”, because he was so just in character, he became a judge of the dead in Hades, the underworld, Rhadamanthys judged the dead souls of those from the East, Aeacus judged those from the West, and Minos would judge any tie breaking votes necessary), and Minos (“MEEnos”) (raised by King Asterion of Crete, later became King of Crete [for which the “Minoans of Crete are named]after kicking out Rhadamanthys, every 9 years he ordered King Aegeus to take 7 young boys and 7 young girls to the “Labyrinth” to be eaten by the Minotaur, he went on to be the tie breaking third judge of three judges of the dead in Hades). Since Agenor had told his sons not to return without her, and since they never did find her, each of them made new homes for themselves in new lands (Cylix settled down in Asia Minor, for which is called Cilicia; Thasus settled down on the island of Thasos; Phoenix (named after his homeland of Phoenicia) settled down in the African Continent, founding a “Phoenicia” there too (Carthage was founded by Phoenicians (Hannibal was a Phoenician Carthaginian), and is located where modern Tunisia is now), Cadmus founded Thebes (and introduced the Phoenician alphabet to the Greeks, which became the foundation for the Greek alphabet), and Phineus became the king of Thrace).
