Myriandus (Greek: Μυρίανδος Mūríandos, from Hittite mūri-, "grape cluster", and -anda, a place name suffix; by folk etymology with Greek andr-, "man", also spelled Myriandrus: Μυρίανδρος Mūríandros)[1][2] was an ancient Phoenician[3] port on the Mediterranean Sea's Gulf of Alexandretta.

Herodotus records the entire Gulf of Alexandretta as Marandynian Bay (Ancient Greek: Μυριανδικὸς κόλπος), after Myriandus.

[5] Xenophon claimed that Myriandus was the border town between Cilicia and Syria.

Herodotus, meanwhile, placed the line further south at Ras al-Bassit in what is now Syria.

[4] In 333 BC, Alexander the Great encamped near the city and intended to attack on the army of Darius III of Persia, but at the night a heavy tempest and storm detained him in his camp.
