520			_aAmong the oldest Greek representations of a female sitting side-saddle on a bull, some hardly evoque the image of an abduction. On the other hand, Wattel – de Croizant (1995) observes, at a later period, that the abduction of Europe progressively evolves into a love scene. This study sought to follow the evolution of these representations through the attitudes and attributes of Europe and the bull from the Greek VII-VIth centuries to the Roman V-VIth centuries. As a result, three historical phases are proposed for these representations of a female sitting on a bull. At first, a goddess sits enthroned on the back of the bull or dominates him. Later, in a break with the past, she is degraded, as Europe, to the status of a simple mortal being abducted by the main god. Finally, she is shown in an acquiescing posture or as a seduced woman in love with her abductor.
