CADMUS
CADMUS (
Κάδμος), a mountain of Phrygia Magna (Strab. p. 578), which the Turks call
Baba Dagh: the sides are well wooded.
A river Cadmus flowed from the mountain, probably the
Gieuk Bonar, which flows into the Lycus, a tributary of the Maeander. (Hamilton,
Researches, &c., vol. i. p. 513.)
The range of Cadmus forms the southern boundary of the basin of the Maeander in these parts. Pliny's remark about it (5.29) does not help us. Ptolemy (
5.2) puts it in the latitude of Mycale, which is tolerably correct.
