Anigrides

Ἀνίγριδες

(Ἀνίγριδες), the nymphs of the river Anigrus in Elis. On the coast of Elis, not far from the mouth of the river, there was a grotto sacred to them, which was visited by persons afflicted with cutaneous diseases. They were cured here by prayers and sacrifices to the nymphs, and by bathing in the river. (Paus. 5.5.6; Strab. viii. p.346; Eustath. ad Hom. p. 880.)
