Au' lis—a bay and town on the coast of Greece, about thirty miles north of Athens. "The scanty ruins of Aulis lie on the rugged ridge of rock which stretches into the sea between the two bays. The little town never attained any importance, for its site was unfavorable for the development of a community; but the two sheltered bays were excellently adapted to be the rendezvous of a fleet." (See Baedeker's Greece—Aulis.)
Cad' mus, or Kadmos—the founder of Thebes in Bœotia. According to tradition, he came from Phœnicia and brought the alphabet to the Greeks and the knowledge of working in metals.
