As soon as Europa ceases to fear him, Jupiter sheds his bull disguise. Meanwhile Europa's father sends her brother, Cadmus, to find her, but threatens him with exile if he fails. As a result, Cadmus rejects his father and his homeland. Instead he goes to Apollo's oracle, which tells him that a cow will guide him to a place where Cadmus should create a new city. Soon Cadmus finds a cow, who leads him to an ancient forest. Cadmus decides to build the city there.
When Cadmus's men go to collect water, they are attacked by a giant serpent who kills them all. Cadmus finds their bodies and attempts in vain to kill the serpent, although he wounds it and traps it against a tree. He hears a voice proclaim that he, too, will become a snake one day. Suddenly Minerva descends from the sky and instructs him to plough the soil and plant the serpent's teeth, "from which a future people should arise." Cadmus follows her instructions, and soon an army of men emerges from the ground. They battle each other until only five men remain, who strike a truce. With these friends Cadmus founds the city of Thebes, marries, and creates a dynasty.
