	Phoenician Alphabet Meditation and Divination

	Io, Greek Mythology Link.
		So when later the Europeans carried off the Phoenician princess Europa, they say, Asia and Europe were then even; for they, accepting again counsel from their wisdom, did not believe in the tale of Zeus the bull conveying the princess Europa to Crete through the sea either.
		According to the book that the Persians kept concerning the abduction of women and the wrongs that Asia and Europe performed against each other, the Europeans (that is the Greeks, in those times) then sent the ARGONAUTS to the city of Aea in Colchis, and carried off the Colchian princess Medea.
		Now, these discussions being endless, it has been firmly established by other authors that Io, who was a priestess of Hera, was not abducted by Phoenician sailors, but instead was turned into a cow and forced to leave her country and wander throughout the world, after having been seduced by Zeus.
