It flows from the eastern slopes of the Trojan Range in a north-easterly direction to Fournier Bay , which it reaches south of Predel Point and north of Madzharovo Point .
The Bulgarian Commission for Antarctic Geographical Names named it in 2009 after the singer Thamyris from the Iliad after Homer .
