A small island of Euxine (Black Sea) located near the south-eastern shore west of the modern river, Sakarya.
Thynias was the island where the blind seer, Phineus, was held prisoner and tormented by the winged-women known as the Harpies; the Argonauts stopped on the island on their way to Kolkhis (Colchis); the winged sons of Boreas (the North Wind), Kalais (Calais) and Zetes chased away the Harpies and freed Phineus from his curse.
