Connect the four paintings providing necessary names.

The subjects of the four paintings were Ganymede, Europa, Io and Callisto, all lovers of Zeus (Jupiter). They lend their names to the four largest moons of Jupiter, called the ‘Galilean Moons’ as they were discovered by Galileo Galilei.

  1. Dear Uncle:

    Chi chi, such pornography first thing in the morning. If you must post such filth…at least make it Megan Fox-related, like that nice Uncle Samanth.

    The connect is Io, Callisto, Ganymede and Europa — the four main Jovian moons. These paintings show those eponymous figures from Greek myth.

    Kind regards,
    Thomas Masun
