Abstract
Abstract This chapter provides an overview of Phrygian history and its sources. It discusses the origins and language of the Phrygians and introduces the available text corpus. A section on Phrygia’s interaction with other peoples is followed by a more detailed look at two Phrygian cities, the capital Gordion and Kerkenes Dağ. The chapter considers different types of funerary monuments, namely burial mounds (tumuli) and rock-cut tombs, as diagnostic markers of Phrygian culture, and introduces Phrygian arts and crafts: pottery, metalwork, woodwork, textiles and music. A survey of Phrygian religion, with a focus on places of worship, religious monuments, and the goddess Matar, concludes the chapter.
