Satyrus of Bosporus

Satyrus of Bosporus

Satyrus (died 387 BC) was the ruler of Bosporan Kingdom in 431 - 387 BC. He established his rule over the whole district of Maeotae, adding Nymphaeum to his dominions and laying siege to Theodosia, which was a serious commercial rival because of its ice-free port and proximity to the grain fields of eastern Crimea. It was reserved for his son Leucon (387 BC - 347 BC) to take this city.
