Personality
History
Taurus is one of the oldest constellations which results in a few different versions of the bull’s story. The first tale involves Zeus and Europa. Zeus fell in love with Europa while she was with her friends. He disguised himself as a bull, which she loved so much that she went for a ride on his back. He swam across to Crete where Europa ultimately gave birth to three sons of Zeus.
The second tale still involves Zeus and cheating. In this tale, Hera was so angry at Zeus that he needed to protect his mistress by turning her into a heifer. Hera still cursed her by forcing her to wander day after day while being bothered by a fly constantly.
