Where does the name Black Sea come from?

Where does the name Black Sea come from?

In ancient times, it was believed that the sea was extremely turbulent and for this reason it was called "black". Another version of the origin of the name refers to the Greeks, according to whom any sea located north of theirs was black. The most plausible hypothesis remains the scientific theory of the lack of oxygen from a certain depth of about 200 meters. For this reason, there are no living organisms in deeper waters, and everything that sinks to the bottom, such as "vessels", for example, does not rot.
