Lucentio- "Oh, yes, I saw sweet beauty in her face
Such as the daughter of Agenor had,
That made great love to humble him to her hand
When with his knees he kissed the Cretan strand."
In Lucentio's speech, Shakespeare alludes to the mythological character "Agenor from the mythological story of "Europa". The significance of comparing Europa to Lucentio's speech is that Europa was said to be a woman of beauty and a Greek Goddess. This contributes to Lucentio's speech because when he first set eyes on Bianca, he knew that she was the one that he wanted to marry. He only wanted her and her beauty.
I'm still really enjoying this humorous love story. I hope that the ending is what I hope it will be!
