Cadmean victory
A Cadmean victory ((ギリシア語:''Kadmeia nike'')) is a reference to a victory involving one's own ruin,〔Liddell, Henry George (Compiler), Scott, Robert (Compiler), Jones, Henry Stuart (Editor), McKenzie, Roderick. ''A Greek-English Lexicon'', 9th ed. New York: Oxford University Press, 1995.〕 from Cadmus (Greek: ''Kadmos''), the legendary founder of Thebes in Boeotia and the mythic bringer of script to Greece.〔Howatson, M. C. (Ed.) ''The Oxford Companion to Classical Literature'', 2nd ed. New York: Oxford University Press, 2006. p. 105.〕 On seeking to establish the city, Cadmus required water from a spring guarded by a water-dragon similar to the Lernaean Hydra. He sent his companions to slay the dragon, but they all perished. Although Cadmus eventually proved victorious, the victory cost the lives of those who were to benefit from the new settlement.〔Morford, Mark P. O. & Lenardon, Robert J., ''Classical Mythology'', 7th ed. New York: Oxford University Press, 2002. p. 4.〕
The phrase "Cadmean victory" has been largely displaced in popular use by "Pyrrhic victory", which carries a similar connotation.
