A surname of Apollo which characterises him as the god of the healing art, or in general as the averter of evil, like ἀκέσιος. (Eurip. Androm. 901.)

He seems to have been either of Thracian or Mysian origin. (Aristoph. Aves, 31; Schol. ad loc.; Vespae, 1216; Schol. ad loc.; Phot. and Suid. s. v. Σάκας: Welcker, Die Griech. Tragöd. p. 1032.)

He was born at Cnossus, or at any rate exercised his profession there for some time. (Paus. x. 15. §4.) He had a son named Amphion, who was also a sculptor, and had studied under Ptolichus of Corcyra (Paus. vi. 3. §2); so that Acestor must have been a contemporary of the latter, who flourished about Ol. 82.
