Acestor (Ancient Greek: Script error: No such module "Lang".), meaning "healer" or "saviour", was the name of several figures in Classical mythology and history:
Mythological
- Apollo Acestor, an epithet of the god Apollo in his role as healer or averter of evil.[1][2]
- Acestor, son of Ephippus, son of Poemander from Tanagra in Boeotia. He was killed by Achilles during the Trojan War.[3]
Historical
- Acestor, Cretan sculptor.
- Acestor Sacas, surnamed "Sacas" (Script error: No such module "Lang".) on account of his foreign origin, was a tragic poet at Athens, and a contemporary of Aristophanes. He seems to have been either of Thracian or Mysian origin.[4][5][6][7][8]
- Acestor, a sculptor mentioned by Pausanias as having executed a statue of Alexibius,[9] a native of Heraea in Arcadia, who had gained a victory in the pentathlon at the Olympic Games. He was born at Knossos, or at any rate exercised his profession there for some time.[10] He had a son named Amphion, who was also a sculptor, and had studied under Ptolichus of Corcyra;[11] so that Acestor must have been a contemporary of the latter, who flourished around Olympiad 82 (452 BC).[12]
