Anius was a son of Apollo by Creusa, or according to others by Rhoeo, the daughter of Staphylus, who when her pregnancy became known was exposed by her angry father in a chest on the waves of the sea. The chest landed in Delos, and when Rhoeo was delivered of a boy she consecrated him to the service of Apollo, who endowed him with prophetic powers (Diodorus Siculus 5.62; Conon, Narratationes 41). Anius had by Dryope three daughters, Oeno, Spermo, and Elais, to whom Dionysus gave the power of producing at will any quantity of wine, wheat, and olive oil—whence they were called Oenotropae ("turning water into wine" or "wine treaders"). When the Greeks on their expedition to Troy landed in Delos, Anius endeavoured to persuade them to stay with him for nine years, as it was decreed by fate that they should not take Troy until the tenth year, and he promised with the help of his three daughters to supply them with all they wanted during that period. (Pherecydes apud Tzetzes ad Lycophron, Alexandra 569; Ovid, Metamorphoses 13.623 ff.)
We have two complete codices of ancient scholia to Lycophron's Alexandra: Marcianus 476, which Edward Scheer in his authoritative edition of Alexandra with the scholia calls s, and Naples II D 4, which Scheer calls s3. In addition there are two books consulted by the Byzantine scholar John Tzetzes and used in his extant commentary on the Alexandra, but now lost. These are termed s4 and s5 by Scheer. See E. Scheer, Lycophronis Alexandra, vol. 2 (Berlin: Wiedmann, 1908), p. xix. The scholia that attest that Callimachus mentioned the daughters of Anius, the mythical king of Delos, in the Aetia appear on pp. 197–198 and p. 200 of Scheer’s combined edition of the scholia. The scholia to Lycophron are probably ultimately based on the commentary of Theon, son of Artemidorus, a grammarian from the time of Augustus and Tiberius, and so may well preserve genuine information about the Aetia.
