Note 1104 — ANTIENT HEROES.

Reading edition

These are the words of Cassandra: upon which the Scholiast observes; Πρυλις, ὑιος του Καδμιλου, και Καδμου, ητοι Ἑρμου: Prulis of Lesbos was the son of Cadmilus, or Cadmus, the same as Hermes. And afterwards he mentions, [1104]ὁ Καδμος, ητοι Ἑρμης, Cadmus, who is the same as Hermes. In another place he takes notice, that the name of Hermes among the Hetrurians was [1105]Cadmilus: and it has been shewn, that Cadmilus, and Cadmus, are the same. To close the whole, we have this further evidence from Phavorinus, that Cadmus was certainly an epithet or title of Hermes. [1106]Καδμος, ου κυριον μονον, αλλα και Ἑρμου επιθετον.
