In
Greek mythology, Anius was the son of
Apollo and
Rhoeo. When her father discovered her pregnancy, he placed her in a chest and cast her out to sea (parallel to
Perseus). She landed on the island of
Delos, which was sacred to Apollo. She gave birth to Anius on the island and he became a priest of Apollo. Later, he gave aid to
Aeneas and his retinue when they were travelling from
Troy to the future site of
Rome.
Anius had three daughters: Oeno, Spermo and Elais.
