Mile'tus

（*Mi/lhtos), a son of Apollo and Areia of Crete. Being beloved by Minos and Sarpedon, he attached himself to the latter, and fled from Minos to Caria, where he built a town, which he called after his own name (Apollod. 3.1.2 ; Paus. 7.2.3; Schol. ad Apolon. Rhod. 1.186). Ovid (Ov. Met. 9.442) calls him a son of Apollo and Deione, and hence Deionides. A different genealogy and story about him is preserved in Antonius Liberalis (30).

William Smith. A Dictionary of Greek and Roman biography and mythology. London. John Murray: printed by Spottiswoode and Co., New-Street Square and Parliament Street. In the article on Soranus, we find: "at this present time (1848)" and this date seems to reflect the dates of works cited. 1873 - probably the printing date.
