A nymph of Delos. She married Anius, the son of Apollo by Rhoeo, and became by him the mother of three daughters — Elais, Oeno, and Spermo. The daughters were known as the Oenotropae.

According to the Etymologicum Magnum,1 Dorippe was a Thracian woman ransomed by Anius for the price of a horse from the pirates who had kidnapped her.
