Mouth of the Anapo River, near Syracuse.

In Greek mythology, Anapus (Template:Langx) was god of the river Anapus in eastern Sicily.[1] He was worshiped by the Syracusans, who depicted him as a young man.[1][2] Anapus was husband to the naiad Cyane,[1] who attempted to dissuade Hades from abducting Persephone, describing how she consented to Anapus' wooing out of love, rather than force.[3]
