The story
The publishing house was founded on 4 November 1995 by Wolfram Burckhardt and Martin Burckhardt. The publisher's name refers to Greek Mythology and is named after Kadmos, the son of Phoenicia King Agenor of Tyros: While searching for his sister Europe kidnapped by Zeus, Kadmos brought the Phoenician alphabet to Greece. In this respect, the publishing activity began with a presentation of the origins of the alphabet. In the early years, the focus was on translations, rediscoveries and rediscoveries. The initial programme included Daniel Paul Schreber's Memories of a Nervous Patient, Charles Babbage's Passages from a Philosopher's Life and biographies of Walt Disney and Ada Lovelace. In 2012, the publisher's logo was renewed with a Greek type in the style of the Univers typeface. Publishing director is classical philologist Wolfram Burckhardt.
