Classical mythographic summaries identify Anippe as a daughter of Nilus, the river-god of the Nile, who by the Olympian god Poseidon bore King Busiris of Egypt. This filial and matrimonial placement appears in surviving Greek compilations and later summaries (sources citing Apollodorus, Plutarch, and Tzetzes via modern summaries). Variant traditions concerning Busiris' mother are recorded in the same corpus: other authors name Libya or Lysianassa as his mother, indicating competing genealogical traditions in the sources.
No physical description of Anippe is preserved in the supplied sources. She is named and located by genealogy (daughter of Nilus, mother of Busiris) rather than by visual attributes; therefore the texts do not record dress, form, or iconographic details for her.
The surviving materials do not attribute independent supernatural acts or powers to Anippe beyond her role in mythic genealogy (bearing Busiris to Poseidon). She is classified as a naiad in linked authority records, which places her within the broad category of freshwater nymphs in Greek myth, but the sources provided do not record specific nymph-like interventions, curses, blessings, or recurring behaviors for her.

Nilus
Nilus (Greek: Νεῖλος, Latin: Nilus) is the Greek personification of the Nile River attested in classical genealogies as a son of Oceanus and Tethys and historically referenced as a river-deity who received cultic honors in Egypt, notably at Niopolis. The name also functions separately as a Christian personal name borne by several saints and clerics; those human bearers are distinct from the river-personification.

Poseidon
Poseidon is a principal deity of the ancient Greek pantheon, counted among the Twelve Olympians; he presides over the sea, storms, earthquakes and horses and functions as protector of seafarers and guardian of cities and colonies.

Naiad
A class of female nature-spirits in ancient Greek religion whose being is bound to particular bodies of fresh water (springs, wells, fountains, streams). Naiads are local, embodied presences venerated in community cults and invoked in rituals of purification, healing, and life-cycle events, yet they may also act harmfully toward humans.
