In
Greek mythology, Anippe (
Ancient Greek: Ἀνίππης) was the
Egyptian daughter of the river-god
Nilus, thus she can be considered as a
naiad. Anippe bore King
Busiris of Egypt to
Poseidon. This son had the habit of killing strangers under the pretense of hospitality and was ultimately slain by the hero
Heracles with his club.[1]
^According to a fragment of
Pherecydes; In Isocates, Busiris 10, a genealogy that adds Libye for mother may be invented, Niall Livingstone suggests (2001:86), as part of Isocrates' mock
encomium.
