Taurus is one of the most ancient of the constellations. In the zodiac, Taurus symbolizes strength of will, determination, balance and practicality. In ancient Egypt Taurus represents both Osirus and his sister Isis who were a bull-god and a cow- goddess. In Greek mythology Taurus is said to represent Zeus in disguise to carry on one of his extramarital affairs. In this story Taurus kidnaps Europa, a Phoenician princess, and carries her on his back through the water to Crete. The bull wades up to shore and there Zeus reveals his true identity and seduces Europa.
