Excerpts from the content: "Colorful History of Europe" Introduction It is impossible to find out where the name "Europe" comes from. The Greek historian Herodotus once recorded three continents-Europe, Asia, and Africa. It can be seen that the world has been divided into three parts in ancient times. However, Herodotus admitted that he had no idea where these names came from. In Greek mythology, Europa was the daughter of the Phoenician king. Zeus fell in love with this beautiful woman, so he turned into a cow, induced Europa to sit on the cow's back, and carried her across the sea to the island of Crete. And he got married and started a business here.

The dividing line between Europe and Asia is usually defined as the Don River in Russia. According to geographical knowledge, northern Greece and western Sicily also belong to Europe.
