Editing Cadmus (section)

== Samothracian connection ==
The fact that [[Hermes]] was worshipped in [[Samothrace]] under the name of Cadmus or Cadmilus seems to show that the Theban Cadmus was interpreted as an ancestral Theban hero corresponding to the Samothracians.{{sfn|Chisholm|1911}} Another Samothracian connection for Cadmus is offered via his wife Harmonia, who is said by [[Diodorus Siculus]] to be daughter of [[Zeus]] and the Samothracian [[Electra (Pleiad)|Electra]], who was one of the seven [[Pleiades (Greek mythology)|Pleides]].<ref>Diodorus Siculus 5.48.2</ref>
