She was the sister of Ariadne, Androgeus, Deucalion, Phaedra, Glaucus, Catreus and Xenodice.
[2] According to a Cretan mythological tradition, she had a son with Hermes, Cydon, the founder of Cydonia.
[8] Fearing her father's wrath, she exposed her son Miletus, but Apollo commanded she-wolves to nurse it until it could be taken in and raised by shepherds.
[9] Pausanias relates that when Apollo came to Carmanor to be cleansed for the murder of Python, he mated with Acacallis (said to be a nymph in this particular version), and that from their union were born Phylacides and Phylander.
People of the Cretan city Elyrus sent to Delphi a bronze statue of a goat suckling these two children, which suggests that they must have been abandoned by their mother.
