Acacallis (527 words)
According to the myths, Acacallis (Akakallis) was one of the daughters of the Cretan king Minos and his wife Pasiphae.
Acacallis was just at Tarrha visiting the house of the seer Carmanor, who was a family member from the side of her mother.
Acacallis is named as the mother of the founders of the Western Cretan cities, but her influence (or the Minoan influence?) spread also over the eastern coast of Asia Minor and over the northern part of Libya.

Acacallis was a princess, the daughter of Minos (the King of Crete) and Pasiphae.
Acacallis (also called Acalle), went to visit her mom's family in the House of Carmanor (they were leading citizens in the city of Tarrha, which is in the West of Crete).
