Greek Monotonic

Κάδμος: ὁ, ο Κάδμος, σε Ομήρ. Οδ., Ησίοδ.· γιος του βασιλιά της Φοινίκης Αγήνορα, αδερφός της Ευρώπης, ιδρυτής των Βοιωτικών Θηβών. Ο Κάδμος έφερε από τη Φοινίκη το παλαιό ελλ. αλφάβ. των δεκαέξι γραμμάτων, απ' όπου ονομάστηκαν και Καδμήϊα ή Φοινικήϊα γράμματα (σε Ηρόδ).· αυτά αργότερα αυξήθηκαν με την προσθήκη άλλων οκτώ γραμμάτων, των επονομαζόμενων Ιωνικών, η, ω, θ, φ, χ, ζ, ξ, ψ.

Frisk Etymological English

Grammatical information: m.
Meaning: name of a hero, the founder of Thebes (Od.)
Other forms: / Κασσμος (vase Rhegium).
Derivatives: Καδμεῖος, Καδμήιος (Hes.) adj.; Καδμεία the hill of Thebes (X.); Καδμειῶνες the inhabitants of Thebes (Il.); καδμεία (γῆ) cadmia, calamine (Dsc.).
Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]
Etymology: The connection with κέκασμαι is certainly wrong. The name is found for a river in Thesprotia and for a mountain and a river in Caria So the word is without a doubt a Pre-Greek word, of unknown meaning (Beekes, Mnemosyne 42 (2004)465ff. and Kadmos, 43(2005)172f. This is confirmed by the name Καδμἶλος which has a suffix -ιλ- which is well known in Anatolia. The structure of the name agrees with that of Πάτμος, Λάτμος, Λάκμος. The gloss κάδμος δόρυ, λόφος, ἀσπίς H. finds no support. Cf. on Καδμῖλος.

Middle Liddell

Κάδμος, ὁ,
Cadmus, Od., Hes.: son of the Phoenician king Agenor, brother to Europa, founder of Boeotian Thebes. Cadmus brought from Phoenicia the old Greek alphabet of sixteen letters, hence called Καδμήια or Φοινικήια γράμματα (Hdt.); which was afterwards increased by the eight (so called) Ionic, η ω θ φ χ ζ ξ ψ.

Frisk Etymology German
