Themiscyra was an ancient Greek town in northeastern Anatolia; it was situated on the southern coast of the Black Sea, near the mouth of the Thermodon.
The town is mentioned as early as the time of Herodotus who also mentions the Amazon female warriors from Themiscyra. Aeschylus, in his play Prometheus Bound, places the original home of the Amazons in the country about Lake Maeotis , stating that they later moved to Themiscyra. According to Pseudo-Plutarch, the Amazons lived in and about the Tánais , formerly called the Amazonian or Amazon because the Amazons bathed themselves in it, before moving to Themiscyra. In addition, Strabo, in his Geographica, mention that Themiscyra was the home of Amazons but later they were driven out of these places.
