Turning myth into reality. Pérez‐Ramírez et al. show in their Communication on page 13670 ff. the outstanding performance of EuOCl for the production of light olefins from ethane and propane by oxychlorination chemistry. The high activity, selectivity, and stability of the system are illustrated by the mythological princess Europa, who was carried from Asia to the Hellenic world by Zeus, who was disguised as a white bull. Both the continent of Europe and the element europium later took her name.
