In Greek mythology, Aconteus may refer to the following distinct two individuals:

  • Aconteus, an Ethiopian chief who was on Perseus's side at the moment of the fight between the hero and Phineus at the court of Cepheus, Andromeda's father. He was turned into a stone when he saw the head of Medusa.[1]
  • Aconteus, an Arcadian who fought in the army of the Seven Against Thebes. He was killed by Phegeus, during the war.[2]
