Tyras (Ancient Greek: Τύρας) was an ancient Greek city on the northern coast of the Black Sea, also called Tyran (Τύραν). Stephanus of Byzantium reports that it was formerly called Ophiussa (Ὀφιοῦσσα). It was founded by colonists from Miletus, probably about 600 BC. The city was situated some 10 km from the mouth of the Tyras River, which is now called the Dniester. The surrounding native tribe was called the Tyragetae. The ruins of Tyras are now located in the modern city of Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi in the Odesa Oblast of Ukraine.
