Thynia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the ancient world, Thynia (/ˈθɪniə/, Greek: Θυνία) was a region of Europe along the north coast of the Propontis, opposite Bithynia on the Asian side.[1] It was occupied by the Thyni, a Thracian people who came from Thrace. Note that in the Middle Ages, Mesothynia ("middle Thynia") was the peninsula of modern Kocaeli.
According to Greek mythology, its name came from Thyneas (Θυνέας) son of Phineas (Φινέας).
