Tauros is the standard Greek word for a bull, carrying deep resonances in both pagan and biblical sacrificial systems. In Matthew 22:4, a king's feast features slaughtered bulls and fattened cattle — an image of lavish celebration. Acts 14:13 records the priest of Zeus bringing bulls to sacrifice to Paul and Barnabas, a dramatic collision of pagan cult with apostolic mission. Hebrews 9:13 and 10:4 invoke the Levitical sacrificial system: the blood of bulls (paired with goats) can never truly remove sin, setting up the superiority of Christ's once-for-all offering. French and German both use 'Stiere/taureau,' cognate with the Greek, tracing this word across Indo-European cultures.
