According to another version, As was a member of the embassy to Italy, headed by the Phrygian king Marsyas, for negotiations with the Etruscan king Tarchon, who captured Marsyas and his ambassador. Having failed to achieve results through peaceful means, Marsyas and How by force captured Campania up to the Volturna River, as well as the region of the future Rome, which was claimed by the Arcadians led by Evander. Hercules, supporting Tarchon, expelled Marsyas and Kaka. Finally, Diodorus knew the host of Hercules, Kakios, who had equal strength. The name Caca (or Cacia) was preserved in the Roman era in the name of the "caca staircase" on the Palatine and in the neighboring building - the "caca atrium".
