Who is Satyrus of Bosporus?
Satyrus also known as Satyros was the Spartocid ruler of the Bosporan Kingdom in 431–387 BC. During his rule he built upon the expansive foreign policy of his father Spartokos I. He conquered Nymphaion, became involved in the political developments of the neighboring Sindike kingdom and laid siege to the city of Theodosia, which was a serious commercial rival because of its ice-free port and proximity to the grain fields of eastern Crimea.
He presided over a strengthening of ties with Athens, and at one point possibly had a statue raised in his honour in the city.
