Caudus or Kaudos (Ancient Greek: Καῦδος) was the principal town of Gavdos off ancient Crete.[1] The execution of Sotades by Patroclus, according to some interpretations, took place at or near the town.[2][3]
Suda writes that it was famous for the big onagers.[4]
Its site is tentatively located near modern Ag. Ioannis.[5][6]
