Evaluate the drafted changes
I think you have the good base of a lot of information, but I would check your facts, and change some of the language to remove some of the bias/opinion. Specifically in the "subject" section. I think the rewording of the myth from Ovid, is a little too long, and not super clear to the reader. I would only give the myth context if you are going to explore the visual manifestation of that element of the myth in the painting. There are some aspects from the myth that are incorrect. Specifically related to the children of Europa, she does not give birth to the minotaur, but to three sons. (Eventually if you follow the line of her lineage the Minotaur can be traced, but the minotaur was born from Pasiphae). I would link in your paragraph the name Europa to her Wiki page, so that the reader would have a link to more knowledge if needed. Another idea that may be interesting to discuss, specifically because it would have been an element for Titian reading these sources, is the latin word "rapto", which would have been the word for "rape" but literally just means "seize /kidnapping" In several cases there is not explicit description of sexual violence, just the use of that word, which may be interesting in your "depiction of women in art" section. I would focus your edits on cutting some of the myth context, and making sure it is accurate to the Ovid tellings.
