Europa is the smallest of the solar system's fifth planet's four largest, or Galilean, satellites. Europa is thought to have an iron core, a rocky mantle and a surface ocean of salty water which is perpetually frozen but may be active below the ice. Galileo originally designated Europa as Jupiter II because he thought it was the second moon of Jupiter. In the mid-1800's it was officially named Europa, after the daughter of Agenor. Europa was abducted by Zeus (the Greek equivalent of the Roman god Jupiter), who had taken the shape of a spotless white bull. Europa was so delighted by the gentle beast that she decked it with flowers and rode upon its back. Zeus seizing his opportunity rode away with her into the ocean to the island of Crete, where he transformed back into his true shape. Europa bore Zeus many children, including Minos.
