According to the ancient Greeks, Zeus fell in love with Europa but she was not really interested in him and did not want anything to do with him. As always, Zeus changed his appearance to that of a white bull and came close to Europa, who was plucking flowers in the Garden at that time. Europa liked the furry white coat of the bull and finally got on to its back. The Bull suddenly started racing and went of to Crete with Europa. Then Zeus revealed himself and Europa was very impressed with his shape and Size. The she ended up marrying him.
The Pleiades in the Taurus constellation are supposed to be representing the seven sisters. They are the 7 daughters of Atlas and Pleione. When Atlas was given the responsibility of carrying the world on his shoulders, his daughters became extremely sad and transformed themselves into seven stars.
There are several such stories about the constellation of Taurus. The Greek themselves have two or three versions about the bull. Another Greek version is that the White Bull was born to Zeus and was called the Minotaur the monster. He was half bull and half human. He was captured in a labyrinth and was ordered to be slain by Theseus. This is how Minotaur, the monster was killed.
