Cadmus and Harmonia's Children:

I might be missing something but I have a question regarding Cadmus' younger son. So we do know that Cadmus and Harmonia eventually had Illyrius during the time when they were reigning over the Illyrians, right?

The thing is: Cadmus and Harmonia quitted Thebes either after Cadmus gave his throne to Pentheus, or after Pentheus' death. Which means that by the time when he had Illyrius he was already a grandfather, and if you remember the fact that Pentheus also left behind a son named Menoeceus then that means he was a great-grandfather as well. Which makes you wonder how old was Cadmus exactly when he fathered Illyrius. I mean... Harmonia is a goddess so there's no surprinse she was able to conceive another child, but how about Cadmus? He must have been in his 70s or 80 at the very least, are you really going to tell me that dude was still able reproduce?!

It feels like an age since I’ve done any loose painting. If Lyri were a vampire, I think he’d be very like Lestat. (Illyrius is mine and c-cloudyys bab)
