Is Acis a god?
AKIS (Acis) was a river-god of eastern Sikelia (Sicily). He was originally a Sikelian (Sicilian) youth loved by the Nereid Galateia whose jealous rival, the Kyklops (Cyclops) Polyphemos, killed him with the cast of a boulder. The gods in pity transformed the dying youth into a river.
