The Caucones are mentioned among the most ancient inhabitants of Greece.
(Strab. vii. p. 321.) As they disappeared in the historical period, little could
be known respecting them; but according to the general opinion they were the most
ancient inhabitants of that part of Peloponnesus, which was afterwards called
Elis. Strabo says that they were a migratory Arcadian people, who settled in Elis,
where they were divided into two principal tribes, of which one dwelt in Triphylia,
and the other in Hollow Elis. The latter extended as far as Dyme in Achaia, in
the neighbourhood of which there was a tributary of the Teutheas bearing the name
of Caucon. (Strab. viii. pp. 342, 345, 353.) The Caucones in Triphylia are mentioned
by Homer, and are called by Herodotus the Pylian Caucones. (Hom. Od. iii. 366;
Herod. i. 147.) They were driven out of Triphylia by the Minyae. (Herod. iv. 148.)
