As legend says the founder of Budva is a mythical character Cadmus.

When Zeus abducted Europe, Agenor sent his sons to seek out their sister and ordered them not to return to their homeland without her. To find his sister Cadmus sacrificed a cow, that had a white sign in the shape of a full moon. However, the sacrifice could not be done without the water, so Cadmus sent some of his companions to a nearby spring. A fierce dragon, the son of Ares, who became angry and killed Cadmus’companions, guarded the spring. Cadmus killed the dragon, for that he and his wife Harmony, were expelled from the city of Thebes, and went to live with the Encheleans, leaving the throne to his grandson Pentheus. It was said that the town of Butoe (Budva) was named after the heard of oxen that pulled the car with Cadmus and Harmony into the land of Illyrians.
