Rape Of Europa Poem by gershon hepner
Rape Of Europa
Zeus finds Europa playing with her hand––
handmaidens some say, pulling wool
over eyes of people who demand
that she be modest. As a bull,
Zeus comes to her, and she spreads wide her legs,
experiencing rapture she has not
experienced with her hand and begs
for more. They call this rape. What rot!
Inspired by Titian's “Rape of Europa” at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.

I don't think Leda complained much either. The only one who seemed to ever mind was Hera. Is Hera every portrayed in a positive light?

Hi Gershon... yes.. you do, do this so well... and I am so jealous you have the time to immerse in museums and to liberally permeate to such depths your subject matters...
