Kaous (Καούς) or Kaounta (Καούντα, Polytonic: Καοῦς) was a city in ancient Arcadia, a region of the southern part of Greece located on the Peloponnese peninsula. The remains of the ancient city have never been discovered.
According to Pausanias, when he visited the city, it was abandoned. It was a city-state of Thelpousa, located five stadia (800 m) from the Arsen (Άρσην) river. Approximately 5 km away is Thelpousa[1].
