Another Acestorides, whose date is unknown, wrote four books of mythical stories relating to every city (των κατά πόλιν μυθικων). In these he gave many real historical accounts, as well as those merely fantastical, but he entitled them μυθικά ("myths") to avoid calumny and to indicate the pleasant nature of the work. It was compiled from Conon, Apollodorus, Protagoras and others.[1][4][5]
