Caucon was a priest of the goddess Demeter, and established her Mysteries in the land of Messenia. Caucon was the Lord of the Cauconians, nestled between Elis, Arkadia, and Messenia. The three genealogies derived from a long running dispute over the sovereignty of the region. He was worshiped as a hero and his tomb was shown in Lepreos.
