Acacallis
(
Ἀκακαλλίς), daughter of Minos, by whom, according to a Cretan tradition, Hermes begot Cydon; while according to a tradition of the Tegeatans, Cydon was a son of Tegeates, and immigrated to Crete from Tegea. (
Paus. 8.53.2.) Apollo begot by her a son Miletus, whom, for fear of her father, Acacallis exposed in a forest, where wolves watched and suckled the child, until he was found by shepherds who brought him up. (Antonin. Lib. 30.) Other sons of her and Apollo are Amphithemis and Garamas. (
Apollon. 4.1490, &c.) Apollodorus (
3.1.2) calls this daughter of Minos Acalle (
Ἀκάλλη), but does not mention Miletus as her son. Acacallis was in Crete a common name for a narcissus. (
Athen. 15.681; Hesych.
