'''Therma''' (''Therme'') ({{polytonic|Θέρμα}},{{polytonic|Θέρμη}} ) was a Greek city founded by [[Eretria|Eretrians]] or [[Corinthians]] in late [[7th century BC]] in ancient [[Mygdonia (Europe)|Mygdonia]] (which was later incorporated into [[Macedon]]), situated at the northeastern extremity of a great gulf of the [[Aegean Sea]], the [[Thermaic Gulf]]. Therma was later renamed [[Thessalonica]] by [[Cassander]].
