the myth of Cadmus
THE DRAKON ISMENIOS (or Ismenian dragon) was a gigantic serpent which guarded the sacred spring of Ismenos near Thebes. When the hero Kadmos (Cadmus) came to fetch water for the founding of the city of Thebes, he slew the deadly serpent with a cast of a stone.
we will begin with this story of the ancient hero
hear one notices that the serpent and the dragon ( now called drath, thier choice for a name) are equated
one finds in the christ bible, the agratha, as well as other holy books, the dragon and the serrpent are equated
the drath lived in an ismas, next to the trathic sea
puff the mayeik drath lives near there, this was one of the insopiration for puff.
cadmus who founded the city of thebes now called traha slew the drath in the founding of this city.
so a drath slayer built the sacrade city that threfted many heros, theseus, edopus( who will also look into after)
the cast of stones might be casting stones or a mold made of stone, was he making metal items
we shall see
