Tactical Theodosian Victory The siege of Theodosia in 389 BC was the first of three sieges carried out against the city of Theodosia (modern day Feodosia) by the rulers of the Bosporan Kingdom, who attempted time and time again to annex the city to their dominions during the long Bosporan-Heracleote War.

Heraclea Pontica came to the aid of Theodosia, perhaps possibly to protect their colony at Chersonesus from the rule of the expansionist Spartocids whose domain was ever increasing.

Upon returning, Satyros died of despair while sieging at the age of 81, having had two wars that he was losing on two fronts.

Around 20 years after the death of Satyros, his son Leukon began a second Siege of Theodosia in around 365 BC.

Leukon lifted this siege due to Heraclea Pontica sending Tynnichus, one of its generals, to aid the city and who succeeded in doing so.
