taurus, tauri m - bull

Sex Life
Virgil analogizes the relentless sexual passion of man to the relentless thirstiness of the bull.

In order to restrict the unrelenting passions of the male bull Vergil suggest that:

"atque ideo tauros procul atque in sola relegant

And for that reason man banishes bulls far away and banishes to the lonely pasture

pascua post montem oppositum et trans flumina lata,

after having been placed opposite the mountain and across the broad river,

aut intus clausos satura ad praesepia seruant."

Or man preserves the bull closed inside to the replete manger (III. 212-215)

In Popular Culture
The Pokemon, taurus, is named after the Latin name for the bull, as well as being designed to look like a bull.
