The '''Thermodon''' river is currently named Terme or Therme-Tchai, and it is located in northern Turkey between the cities Ordu and Fatsa. The river flows about 50 km east of the coastal town Samsun into the Black_Sea. The region consists of a fertile, rather secluded, plain. High mountains can be found to the south and east, and the river Yesil Irmak flows in the west. In Greek_mythology the legendary capital of the Amazons, Themiscyra, was found on the river Thermodon. {{Turkey-geo-stub}}
