Sack of Ilion to Seven Sages Seven Wonders of the World to Spartan Cipher Rod Sparti to Syrinx 2
A group of fully armed warriors who sprang from the dragon’s teeth that Kadmus (Cadmus) planted at the advice of Athene (Athena).
When Kadmus founded the city of Thebes a dragon guarded the nearby spring; Kadmus killed the dragon and Athene knocked the teeth from the dead dragon’s head and gave half to Kadmus and the other half to king Aietes (Aeetes) of Kolkhis (Colchis).
Kadmus planted the teeth and Earthborn warriors rose from the ground; he induced a fight between the magical soldiers which sprang from the dragon’s teeth and finally only five remained alive; these survivors became the ancestors of noble families of Thebes.
When Iason (Jason) was trying to take possession of the Golden Fleece, he also had to fight the Earthborn soldiers.
