In Greek mythology, Acallaris (Ancient Greek: Ἀκαλλαρίς) was the daughter of Eumedes. According to some accounts she married the Trojan king, Tros of whom she had a son Assaracus, also a king of Troy.[1] Some writers gave the name Callirrhoe, daughter of the river god Scamander as the wife of Tros and became the mother of his sons.[2][3][4] Other possible children of Tros and Acallaris are Ilus, Ganymede, Cleopatra and Cleomestra.[5]
