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.Page in Frisk: 1,751Greek-English etymological dictionary (Ελληνικά-Αγγλικά ετυμολογική λεξικό) > Κάδμος
