Abstract

According to Greek mythology, Cadmus was the founder of Thebes. His royal line sovereignly reigned over the city in the face of a long string of misfortunes represented in the seven tragedies of the Theban cycle that survived, as well as other works with which we had no contact. This article presents the systematization of the genealogy of Cadmus in Thebes, or the cadmean genealogy, from the study of these seven tragedies together.
