A sacred cave located on Mt. Zas on the island of Naxos, Zas Cave preserves evidence of human occupation ranging from the Late Neolithic period to the Early Cycladic III period. Local tradition holds that the sky god Zeus hid from Cronus in the cave. Rock cuttings in the area refer to "Zeus Melosios".
