history

The publishing house was founded on November 4, 1995 by Martin and Wolfram Burckhardt. The publisher's name refers to Greek mythology and is named after Kadmos , the son of the Phoenician king Agenor of Tire : While searching for his sister Europe , who was kidnapped by Zeus , Kadmos brought the Phoenician alphabet to Greece . In this regard, publishing began with a description of the origins of the alphabet. In the first few years the focus was on translations as well as new and rediscoveries. The initial program included Daniel Paul Schreber's Memoirs of a Nervous Man , Charles Babbag's passages from the life of a philosopher and biographies about Walt Disney and Ada Lovelace . In 2012 the publisher's logo was renewed using a Greek type in the style of the Univers font. The publisher is the classical philologist Wolfram Burckhardt.
