Cadmus, or Kadmos, in Greek mythology, was a Phoenician prince, son of Agenor and the brother of Phoenix, Cilix and Europa. Cadmus founded the Greek city of Thebes, and its acropolis was originally named Cadmeia in his honor. Though Cadmus' role in the founding myth of Thebes sets him in the Mycenaean age, the alphabet arrived in Greece centuries afterwards, during the eighth century; nevertheless, Cadmus was credited by the Hellenes of Classical times with the introduction of the Phoenician alphabet, phoinikeia grammata. Herodotus who gives this account estimates that Cadmus lived sixteen hundred years before his time, or around 2000 BC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadmus Sep 17 08, 9:17 AM
