In the ancient world, Thynia was a region of Asia Minor part of or equal to Bithynia which means "Both-Thynias". 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. Its name came from Thyneas (Θυνέας) son of Fineas (Φινέας) by the myth.
