Abstract. In this paper the author used analytical-synthetic and comparative methods to analyse an ancient myth of the hero Cadmus from Caucasian Colchis who in the 2nd millennium BC established cities and spread literacy among the people of the Balkan Peninsula. Basic objective of the author of this paper is to prove that the myth of Cadmus proves ancient origin of Slavic civilization following the Great Flood which occurred in the 6th millennium BC. The conclusion of the comparative analysis of antique myths and archaeological artefacts related to the myth of Cadmus is that the actions and roles of Cadmus as a legislator, navigator, metallurgist, philosopher and hero who killed and tamed wild animals and his wife Harmonia as a pagan goddess of harmony and fine arts are metaphors for the first elements of Slavic civilization such as social communities, social institutions, literacy, legislation, philosophy, metallurgy, navigation, mythology and fine arts.
Keywords: Cadmus, Harmonia, antique mythology, Serbs, Triballs, Slavs, Illyrians, Slavic civilization, legislation, imperial power, heroism, ascetism, literacy.

The analysis of an ancient myth of Cadmus who in the 2nd millennium BC arrived from Caucasian Colchis to the Balkan Peninsula and established legislation, built cities and spread literacy among local Slavic people explains a claim of Constantinopolitan historian Laonicus Chalcocondyles that «he knows with certainty that Serbs Triballs are oldest people in the world»1 along with the fact that antique amphorae, vases and tablets with inscriptions «Heracles the Slav»2 and «Serbs Heracleides»3 regarding Cadmus' mythic counterpart Heracles were found in the sea and seacoast in the south of the Balkan and Apennine peninsulas. The analysis of the myth of Cadmus also explains the claims from medieval Russian Laurentius script and various world historians regarding the relation between Illyrian Slavs (modern Russians) who lived in the settlements of metallurgists and traders in Ladoga and Novgorod4 with Illyrian Slavs (modern Serbs) who lived in the Balkan Peninsula5 because the

The Key to the Origin of Slavic People's
Ethnonyms in the Myth of Cadmus
According to the ancient myth of Cadmus, Cadmus from Colchis followed a cow and arrived to the Balkan Peninsula and there he killed by a stone a dragon that guarded the water source of the dragon's father, who was Thracian god of war Ares (Tyras or Mars)2. Following the advice of goddess of wisdom Athena (Minerva3) Cadmus sowed the teeth of the dragon from which appeared the first people on the Earth Pelasgians «Spartoi»4 -«nomadic»5, gigantic6 warrior-like7 and just8 «Earth-born» people9. The Spartans
lived in Sparta or Serbeika - «the land of Serbs» on the mythical mountain Olymp in Greece10 for which a historian Gordon Child claimed that it was built about 3.760 years BC on the river Haliakmon as a cultural province of prehistoric civilization Vinca and the first cultural and educational center of ancient Macedonia11 and in accordance with their ethnonyme Cadmus is sometimes called Sparton, the son of «the first man and king Toromey»12.

of Cadmus and another one of Cadmus's mythical counterpart hero Heracles (Serbo Makeris)1 is an antique inscription «Serbs Heracleides» located between the cities of Pydna and Dion in the vicinity of the mountain Olymp2. As shown in the myth of Cadmus and in the myths of other similar heroes-counterparts of Cadmus, Cadmus killed the dragon who was the son of Ares and this myth is similar to the myth of Heracles as the son of Aristeus Serbo (Sard) Makeris3 who killed Ares' son Cycnos4 and did various heroic acts in the Balkan Peninsula5 or the myth of Apollo who killed a snake (dragon) in Delphi oracle in ancient Greece. After the murder of the dragon Cadmus married the goddess of arts and harmony Harmo-nia6 who was the daughter of King Ares (Mars) and Ares' wife Aphrodite (Venus Sirbis),7 while the Spartoi, who in the beginning used to kill each other in the
wars, calmed down8 and were taught by Harmonia to play the instruments which could cause war-like spirit or peaceful spirit in people9. According to one version of the myth of Cadmus, one family branch of Cadmus' sons Illyrius, Dardan and Scordisc disappeared with the death of his descendent Oedipus10 while according to another version Cadmus' descendants and people became some sort of snakes or dragons with a tail attached to human torso11, which was a metaphor for Noah's oldest son Japhet («Iatus, expandus»12), whose descendants «spread all over the world», as it was written in «Genesis» in Old Testament13. In other words, Cadmus' descendants14, Dardans, were a synonym of Cadmus' oldest son Dardan («Dar-da-Nus» - «glorious Noah») or the pagan god of sea Japhet (also called Neptune, Phorkys or Dagon)15. The proof of this claim, among other proofs, is a carved re-

Ancient Greeks used to call Cadmus' father Agenor «the father of sea-people Pelasgians»3 and represented him with a human torso and a fish tail4. He also had a trident5 - the sea god Poseidon from the family of Neptune (Japhet).

In other historical sources they were also called by their counterpart ethnonymes Kim-merians and Medes and «med» or «mjed» in the Serbian language means «copper», just like Cadmus's homeland Colchis12. According to Homer, in the trade process these first metallurgists used copper -«halkos» as a medium of exchange13, just like the people mentioned in the Eighth Book of Rg Veda who used copper coins «shulka»14. Their connection with the Balkan Peninsula is proved also by the fact that the ancient settlement Kimmerium in the Black Sea, named by a descendent of Japhet's oldest son Gomer Kimmeri-ans, was originally named Serberion15.

The attribute «red», which is connected to «cadmium» (Cd) - red coloured imperial garment of the first man in the Earth Pe-lasg or King Agenor, Cadmus' father1, is also applied to Cadmus himself (Pelasg, Peleus) and his wife Harmonia (Thalassa, Teuta) and the descendents of their imperial dynasty.2 King Agenor's red imperial garment is a metaphor for the creation of the first state order with an imperial father figure as the leader and civilizer of primordial primitive humankind following the end of the Great Flood, or in other words, it is a metaphor for the creation of the first states and social institutions, beliefs, customs and manners of the humankind.
Before King Agenor's son Cadmus gave legislation to the people in the Balkan Peninsula, he firstly had to spread literacy among the people of the Balkan Peninsula3, which is proved by the sameness and similarity of millennia-old prehistoric Serbian Vinca symbols and Old Armenian letters4, It is also proved by the toponymes in Greece related to the metal made in Theba and its surrounding cities which was used for the production of the alloys for printing letters5.

The archeological discovery of the metal used for the production of printing alloys in Theba and its surroundings8 explains the paintings on antique vases representing Cadmus who kills a dragon with a stone and then builds Theba in which literacy and metallurgy developed and both these actions explain the meaning of integral ethnonyme of the Slavs as "literate" (slovni9) or "glorious" (slavni10) people.

ued to build Athens1, Sparta2, Budva3, Ul-cinj (originally named Colchis)4, Risan5, Ohrid6 and Tomis7 and other cities in the vicinity. In Athens Cadmus («Acade-mus, thinker») established the Academy of knowledge8, for which a mythic parallel is found in Lucian's myth of Cadmus' counterpart, legislator and philosopher Tocharis. In accordance with the institutional legislative frame which the first King Agenor and his son Cadmus established in the Balkan Peninsula, for which one symbol is the institution of Cadmus and Harmonia's marriage, and in accordance with Harmonia's name, the inhabitants of the cities under their jurisdiction were described as peaceful and spiritual people9. A descendent of Cadmus' son Il-lyrius, Emperor Agron lived with his wife Teuta in Risan in the Boka Kotorska bay on the Adriatic Sea in the 3rd century BC and an antique historian called his empire
«Serbian empire»10. According to antique sources one «red» king Dardan (Evmolp), which was also the name of another Cadmus' son Dardan, built Evmolpida (today Plovdiv in Bulgaria) and also the cities in Samothrakia11, in the Black-Sea/Caspian Colchis, in Hittite Anatolia and in the north of Africa, in accordance with the belief that Cadmus lived in the age of Trojan war12, and in the age of the navigators Argonauts who sailed to India13 and Thra-cian king Lykurg whose navigators sailed to Egypt and Lybia.14

Slavic People as the First Legislators in the Myth of Cadmus
In the Balkan Peninsula Cadmus taught legislation to Athenian people and in this sense the myth about it is identical to the myth of a Scythian philosopher and lawyer Tocharis who had taught the legislation to the Athenians long time before Scythian philosopher Anacharsis and the lawyer Solon did it in the 6th century BC3. The so-called Solon's Law or Solon's Twelve Tablets4 was only a legal reflection of an ancient Slavic-Aryan Manu's Law, which was reportedly created by the first man Manu (Noah, or Cadmus' father King Agenor), and some charters of this ancient Manu's Law were also present in some charters of the medieval law of the Serbian Emperor Stefan

Dusan Nemanjic Dusanov zakonik, although Dusanov zakonik was written in the form of Constitution5. As for Manu's Law or Solon's Law, which was the creation of «Scythian people from the East», the Romans adopted it from the Balkan people in order to stabilize the situation in the Apenine Peninsula after the fall of Etrurian ruler Tarquinius and subsequent decrease of the import of products from eastern states6. Because of the existing explanation that the notions «Ro-scian law» in Cicero's Philippics (2.44) is related to «lex Roscia theatralis» of a Roman official Lucius Roscius Otho7, the fact that the origin of Roman law, Theo-dosian Codex and later Constantinopoli-tan and Slavic laws goes back to ancient Slavic legislators and philosophers is widely neglected in the field of humanities. Other legal reflections of Manu's Law are the Code of Hammurabi, Hittite laws, universal human idea of Alexander the Great, later adopted by the laws of the emperors Constatine the Great, Theodo-sius and Justinian of Slavic origin, which later became known as the Roman Law8

Therefore the legacy of the lawyer and poet Solon in the Balkans had been long established and was also proved by the discovery of a vase with the verses of Solon's Song to Muses of Justice4 in the tomb of a Thracian man near Plovdiv in modern Bulgaria in the 1st century BC5. These «Thracians» (one of various ethnonyms of «the men from the East» from Scythia), were described by the antique authors Herodotus and Strabo as «the justest people in the world» (dichaiotatoi anthropoi6), «people

Therefore the myth of Cadmus from the East who taught the Greeks various kinds of knowledge is related to the Scythians philosophers and thinkers9 and ascetics10 who arrived from their «barbarian» eastern states and gave legislation to the Athenians and Romans11, and invented an anchor and taught the Greeks the skill of navigation and other kinds of knowledge in the field of science and arts12, for which the antique Greeks used to express their gratitude to them13. They called these Scythian philosophers and prophets («shamans»), dioi («sacred»), dictatoi («just») and ieroi («heroic») people14. The just Scythians built various pagan oracles for prophecies in Greece. On the Greek island Delos15 (originally named Scythia)16 they dedicated the oracle to their supreme

In addition to pagan oracles Dodona3 and Delphi4, they also established the cult of pagan Eleusine mysteries in Greece,5 which they named «Eleusia» by their homeland beyond the river Don6. The concept of «just reign» of Scythian legislators, or Cadmus' metallurgists «saqlabi»7 (the Slavs8 from Colchis), was celebrated in the myths of the Argonauts and «just kings»9 and in the myth of King Midas who used to make gold of everything he touched,10 which in the symbolism of antique people meant that King Midas «ruled justly»11.

was the rulers from Black sea-located dynasties Pharnaces12 and Mithritades13 who were called «just kings - basileus».

and to the kings and emperors from medieval Serbian1, Bulgarian2, Constanti-nopolitan3 and Russian dynasties4. This cultural, mythological and trade connection of Cadmus and his Slavic-Scythian countrymen who immigrated from the Caucasus and from the Baltic sea and India to the Balkans and spread over the eastern Mediterranean explains another important fact that the so-called Russian «Varjagi» («Variagi»)5 in the time of Cadmus were called «bhairagi», or the people Jati in India, about whom the Indian historians Sankrityayana and Bim Singh Dahiya explicitly wrote that they were ancestors of modern Russians6.

version of Vedic literature and in Hindu mythology these «Variagi» or «bhairagi» were ascetics («sadhu») who abandoned public life for the purpose of meditation7 and were considered «holy, just and moral people»8, just like in antique Greek sources. In addition to this fact, in these sources Cadmus was frequently identified with the pagan god of literacy, shamanism and music Orpheus9. Therefore in accordance with the role of Cadmus' wife Harmonia to spread peace, civilization and fine arts worldwide, Cadmus' countrymen did not practice Dionysian way of shamanism and wild bacchanalias, but Orphic shamanism which was connected with meditation, calmness and asceticism, reflecting the claim of the historian Herodotus that «the Scythians did not like southern customs such as bacchanalias»10.

in the past, were assimilated in India as Saka Brahmi, Rajputi, Jati, Hindu Gujari, etc. Great similarity between Sanskrt and Russian language is understood by looking at theiry histories, because the Russians are descendents of these same Saka, whose brothers Aryans inhabited India and Iran since ancient times».

um-Phasis and Trabson ports only continued the millennia-long trade route of their ancestors Cadmus' Slavic Illyrians -Dardans from prehistoric Vinca-Tripolje-Cucuteni civilization. This ancient civilization encompassed the Black sea with its northern tributary rivers and the rivers Danube and Morava in the Balkan Peninsula. In the time of old Roman empire the Balkan Peninsula was considered to be Catena Mundi («Chain of the World»), or in other words, it was considered to be the most strategically important geopolitical spot on the map of the world, as it was a protruded territory directed to the eastern Mediterranean sea and washed by the Black, Adriatic and Aegean seas, with lots of mines full of raw metals, rivers, hot baths and trade roads. Therefore the discoveries of the inscriptions with Orphic old Serbian-Armenian symbols in Olbia, Panticapeum, Phasis and other ports in the Black sea prove that these ports were important meeting centers of the Balkan and Middle Asian cultures1. Japethite branch of Cadmus' descendents used to live in the Mediterranean all the way to northern African Gaza and, according to ancient Assyrian rulers, it was the sea-coast of modern Syria and Palestine from where the Japethite descendents, in many historical sources also mentioned as Magi philosophers and ascetics, settled down in the eastern region of the river Tigris. Just like Brahmi in India, these Magi people were members of the leading priest

god of literacy11 and music Orpheus12, who with his music tamed wild animals in the Balkans13. The representations of killed or tamed wild boars on Serbian medieval rulers' coats of arms and the paintings from antic amphorae and vases that connect the hero Cadmus, who killed the dragon, with Orpheus, who tamed wild boars. To crown it all a connection can be traced between Slavic «Variagi» and ascetics, Orphic shamans «bhairagi» and Cadmus' son Illyrius's people Illyrians. In this sense it is important to underline one more proof of this connection. The ancient city of Ohrid, which is in modern Macedonia, was related to the cities Ladoga and Novgorod14. Cadmus built the city of Ohrid on a famous «Cadmus's road» (Via Cadmeia) which connected the Adriatic Sea with the south and north of the Balkan Peninsula and is called Via Egnatia today15.

dent Ohrid were Slavic Illyrians who traditionally wore the symbol of a wild boar on their helmets as a ritual symbol of imperial reign and heroism1, because back in the ancient time people believed that only a wise, masculine and moral man was capable of killing wild boars2. The proof of this belief is the ancient symbol of a wild boar pierced by an arrow which used to be represented on the Serbian coats of arms
and flags throughout the history3. Such a coat of arms is also the proof of the continuity of the Serbian civilisation on the Balkan Peninsula from prehistory to contemporary age, taking into consideration the fact that Constantinopolitan historians used to name Serbian medieval kings of various generations «the rulers of the Serbs Triballs»4.

Apollo with the lyre drives Cadmus and Harmonia in the carriage pulled by a yoked domesticated lion and a wild boar Black-figure antique vase, the 6th century BC, the author Diosphos Department of Greek and Roman antiquities, museum Louvre, Paris, France2
Regarding this fact, on the vase painted by Diosphos dated from the 6th century BC there is a couple of Cadmus and Harmonia driven by the pagan solar god Apollo in the carriage pulled by a tamed and domesticated lion and a wild boar. In this painting Cadmus is a masculine hero showing to his wife Harmonia, in accordance with the tradition of Ancient Greece and Macedonia, the caught and tamed prey - the wild boar -

as a symbol of his masculinity1. In addition to this, on this vase the figures of Cadmus and Apollo personify also the myth of Orpheus who received the lyre from Apollo and instead of killing wild animals started to tame them. The peaceful tamer of wild animals Orpheus unified the concept of music with the earliest forms of philosophy, theology and legisla-tion2, and that was also the concept and attribute of the famous Thracian «horse tamer» as a «hero civilizer», which had been attached to the whole branch of the Slavic people and produced other synonymic ethnonymes - Thracians, Illyrians, Triballs and Dardans from the dynasty of «Serbs Heracleides». In addition to one more explanation of the myth of Cadmus, it is necessary to mention Hyginius' Fabu-lae in which Apollo in the Scythian oracle in Delphi prophesied to King Adrastus that his two daughters would get married to two young men who would kill a lion and a wild boar. His future sons-in-law Tadeus and Polynick, the son of Cadmus' descendant Oedipus, appeared before King Adrastus dressed in the skins of a lion and wild boar, which reflected the custom of the noble men to hunt wild boars in Theba3, and so King Adrastus gave a permission to his daughters to merry the two young nobles4. In line with the name and function of Cadmus' wife Harmonia, the tamed lion and wild boar who pull the carriage with the married

couple are also a metaphor for Aesop's fable Lion, Wild Boar and Vultures about a lion and wild boar fighting over the water at the water source and when seeing the nearby vultures realized that they had to make peace with each other if they wanted to survive and continue living. As the wild boar was a metaphor for a strong and wild man, the presence of Cadmus' wife Harmonia in the carriage pulled by domesticated animals is a metaphor for pre-Christian and Christian understanding of asceticism, tolerance and harmony which calmed down the rage and ferocity of the first people who used to fight against each other and tame wild animals5. Harmonia used to be represented, just like pagan goddesses Athena, Minerva, Darda (Сарда, Сара, Venus Sirbis) or Benzaiten, with the instrument in her hands, which stood for creative arts and science and symbolized the knowledge creating harmony in the world.6 Also, in Dupljaja village near Vrsac city in contemporary Serbia a clayed peace of carts was discovered with a clay driver as a metaphor for the solar god Apollo pulled by three clayed ducks «dromitas», dating from 1500-1200 BC, which is approximately the same age when the mythical hero Cadmus came to the Balkans. These clayed ducks «dromi-

tas» were a metaphor for ancient Russian (northern Serbian)1 navigators Obodrites, also called «dromitas» (Apo^ixai)2, «the nomads» in historical sources, who «in-habited the area from Siberia to Greek Peloponnese», among which the most famous were the tribes of Dragovici and Krivici on the Peloponnese, known also in historical sources as «Illyrian Serbs Trib-alls» who «speak» («slove») and so they were called «Sloveni» (the Slavs) or «Slav-ni» (the glorious ones), but also they were known as «the people of Bulgarian King Krum» in 8133.
All these above mentioned facts prove that the ancient Slavs were engaged in the

creation of the first significant elements of human civilization, science and arts after the Great Flood, including the mythology that testifies to it. Also at the same time the myth of Cadmus proves that the Serbs, Russians and other Slavic people created their own states, social institutions and achievements, such as legislation, marriage, philosophy, metallurgy, navigation, mythology and fine arts much earlier than it was presented in their official educational systems. Therefore it is possible to conclude that in fact the first ancient Caucasian-Balkanian-eastern Mediterranean legislation after the Great Flood was created by ancient Slavic legislators and philosophers and that the so-called «Greek/Roman» mythology describes the creation of ancient Slavic civilization, and that it was later taken over and retold in various versions by other peoples in the eastern Mediterranean.
