Mount Phoukas or Foukas (Greek: Φουκάς) is a mountain in the Peloponnesus in Greece.[1] Anciently, it was called Apesas (Ancient Greek: Ἀπέσας; Latin: Apesas mons);[2] it towered above Nemea in the territory of Cleonae, Argolis, and was where Perseus is said to have been the first person who sacrificed to Zeus Apesantius.
