# Tragus (river)

The Tragus or Tragos (Greek: Τράγος) is a river of northwestern Arcadia and southern Achaea, Greece. It is a left tributary of the Ladon river. Its source is near the village of Nymfasia, it flows along Dara, and joins the Ladon near Zevgolatio.

## Background

The ancient author Pausanias wrote that the river issues from the inner side of the embankment surrounding the city of Caphyae near lake Orchomenus, after which it descends into a chasm of the earth, issuing again at a place called Nasi (Νάσοι); and that the name of the village where it issues is named Rheunus (Ῥεῦνος). Older names of the Tragus are Tara and Daraiiko.
