"Cadmus Sowing the Dragon's Teeth" is a painting by American artist Maxfield Parrish, created in 1908. This work is one of Parrish's numerous contributions to the genre of mythological and allegorical art, which he became renowned for during the Golden Age of Illustration. The painting depicts a scene from Greek mythology in which Cadmus, the legendary founder of Thebes, follows the advice of the goddess Athena to sow the teeth of a slain dragon into the earth, from which fully armed warriors, known as the Spartoi, spring forth.

Maxfield Parrish's distinctive style, characterized by vibrant colors and a luminous quality, is evident in this piece. His use of glazing techniques, where multiple layers of transparent oil colors are applied, creates a depth and intensity that became a hallmark of his work. The painting's composition, with Cadmus at the center of the action, showcases Parrish's ability to blend classical themes with his unique aesthetic, resulting in an image that is both timeless and emblematic of the early 20th-century American art scene.

"Cadmus Sowing the Dragon's Teeth" is not only a testament to Parrish's skill as an illustrator but also reflects the period's fascination with classical antiquity and the revival of mythological subjects in art. The work is part of a larger body of Parrish's art that contributed to the visual culture of the era and remains influential in the realms of fantasy and illustration. As with many of Parrish's paintings, this piece likely found its audience through various forms of reproduction, such as prints and posters, which helped to cement his reputation as one of the most popular American artists of the early 20th century.
