κ21Κάδμος
Kadmos, Cadmus
The Milesian, inventor of the alphabet. In an epigram of Zeno: "but if [your] fatherland [is] Phoenician, what reproach [is there]? It is also [the home of] that Cadmus, from whom Hellas has the written page."
Κάδμος· ὁ Μιλήσιος, εὑρετὴς τῶν γραμμάτων. ἐν ἐπιγράμματι Ζήνωνος· εἰ δὲ πάτρα Φοίνισσα, τίς ὁ φθόνος; ὃν καὶ ὁ Κάδμος κεῖνος, ἀφ' οὗ γραπτὰν Ἑλλὰς ἔχει σελίδα.
