Robert R. Stieglitz argues for a 14th-century B.C. date in “The Letters of Kadmos: Mythology, Archaeology, and Eteocretan” (Pepragmena tou d’Diethnous Krtologikou Synedriou (Hrakleio, 29 Augoustou–3 Septembriou 1976) [Athens, 1981]); and Martin Bernal sets the limits between 1750 and 1400 B.C. (Cadmeian Letters [Winona Lakes, Indiana: Eisenbrauns, 1990]).
