cadmus' duty cultural hero new order


Intending to sacrifice the cow to Athena, Cadmus sent some of his companions to the nearby Castalian Spring, for water. They were slain by the spring's guardian water-dragon (compare the Lernaean Hydra), which was in turn destroyed by Cadmus, the duty of a culture hero of the new order.

the cow was going to be sacrificed and made into a cult of athena , it was being devoured by divine wisdom. some of cadmus' companions went to the Castalian Spring, which are:
The Castalian Spring, in the ravine between the Phaedriades at Delphi, is where all visitors to Delphi — the contestants in the Pythian Games, and especially suppliants who came to consult the Delphic Oracle — stopped to wash their hair; and where Roman poets came to receive poetic inspiration. This is also where Apollo killed the monster, Python, and that is why it was considered to be sacred.
Two fountains, which were fed by the sacred spring, still survive. The archaic 6th century BCE fountain house has a marble-lined basin surrounded by benches. There is also a Hellenistic or Roman fountain with niches hollowed in the rock to receive votive gifts. The Castalian Spring itself predates classical Delphi. The ancient guardian of the spring was the serpent Python, which was killed by Apollo in its lair beside the spring.
This spring in a ravine once provided drinking and washing water for the priestesses who pronounced the oracles here. The spectres of three women are said to sometimes wander the area, which is now closed off to visitors - supposedly because of falling rocks. However, a channel filled with water running from the spring comes out to the pathway.

thus the companions trying to slay the cowe fell slayn by the water dragon of teh fountain once guarded by the pytjon in its age, in teh age of apollo.
so the symbol of teh python which was teh old power of eth age appollo grow up inm was slayn by appollo and it became a dragon, as delphi is named after appollos aperision on teh beach as a delphin, it was called pythona before that. so the python dell to the delphin water dragon.
it was python cadmus who slayed the dragon and become teh campion of eth cow represented as etgh course and way the dolphin suggested to the cadmus..
the duty of a culture hero of the new order.
it was the duty and the course fo evenst that the hero and representative of the epoch change slay the old power guardian and have a new one grow in its place.
only the hero and paradugm of the change can slay teh dragon, only teh krithit can accomplish such a change and help cause an epoch ahange. this change was culture and civic and is reflected in teh lauguage he help foundm, the new era , the city of ancient thebes and thebes in egypt also worshiped the cow of eth torrow , golden adn sacrwed. Thus this was a political, culture, social and civilisational change epoch change, like our end of days.
