Zena Gunther de Tyras (Greek: Ζήνα Κάνθερ ντε Τύρας; c. 1922 – 3 July 2012), also known as Zena Kanther, was a prominent Cypriot philanthropist and socialite. Born into poverty as the youngest of ten children, Zena's early childhood was marked by hardships, both because of her family's financial situation and her abusive father. Originally named Theognosia, the name "Zena" was adopted during her career as a cabaret dancer. After becoming one of the most famous dancers in Cyprus, Zena escaped poverty in the 1950s through her marriage to the American millionaire Christian Gunther, though their marriage was marred by her husband's alcoholism and health issues.
