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. Some writers gave the name Callirrhoe, daughter of the river god Scamander as the wife of Tros and became the mother of his sons. Other possible children of Tros and Acallaris are Ilus, Ganymede, Cleopatra and Cleomestra.
