The journal derives its name from Greek and Phoenician mythology. Kadmos or Cadmus
was a son of King Agenor and Queen Telephassa of Tyre, and brother of Cilix, Phoenix and Europa. Cadmus is credited with introducing the original alphabet – the Phoenician alphabet, with "the invention" of agriculture, and with founding the city of Thebes. His marriage with Harmonia represents the symbolic coupling of Eastern learning and Western love of beauty. The youngest son of Cadmus and Harmonia is Illyrius.
The inaugural issue of Cadmus was launched in October 2010 on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary of The World Academy of Art & Science.
