CADMUS, SON OF AGENOR
A symbol of experience or wisdom, the offspring
of the Divine Mind. When intuition (the cow that Cadmus followed)
ceases to function and guide (the cow laid down), then experience
establishes itself, and finally is transmuted to wisdom (Thebes).
"When Jason had yoked the two brassfooted bulls, he was to plough
with them a piece of land, and sow the serpents' teeth which Eetes
possessed, to whom Athena had given one half of those which Cadmus
had sowed at Thebes." - Argonautic Expedition, KEIGHTLEY, Mythology.
And when the desire-force and the reason had been yoked together, it
was necessary for the Self (Jason) to apply those powers which had
been acquired, to the development of the lower nature, and to adapt
to useful purpose those faculties which the Supreme bestowed upon
him, and which amounted to one half, i.e. the lower aspect, of those
which were yielded to the Supreme by Wisdom (Athena), through
experience (Cadmus).
