About The Artwork
The story of Europa's seduction by Zeus is often viewed as a rape story. However, the fact that Europa voluntarily rode on the back of Zeus to Crete where he installed her as the queen suggests a more positive interpretation. Interestingly, scientific studies indicate that saffron is a potent libido enhancer in both males and females, which may explain why some versions of the legend mention that Zeus fell in love Europa while she was collecting saffron from the Crocus flowers.
