Φµύγες must therefore be the name of the #Phrygians in Greek and Βµίγες/Βµύγες could have been the one they gave themselves, but also the one given to them by the Thracians and at least one of the components of the Macedonian population.

Herodotus is not the only one to bring the #Phrygians from the Balkan Peninsula, cf. again Strabo, VII 3.2 and XII 8.3, or Pliny, V. XLI 145. Moreover, certain mythical stories from Macedonia or Western Thrace recalled their stay in the region.

Today, in the light of archaeological data, we would tend to make it go down to the 10th and even the 9th century BC. They enter Greek literature from Homer (Iliad II 862, III 184, XXIV 545), where they appear as eastern neighbors and allies of the Trojans.

In the 9th and especially in the 8th century BC, they constituted a powerful empire. The excavations carried out in their capital, #Gordion, reveal a society which, by its culture, is not without analogies with that of the Homeric poems.

But the Phrygians, as shown by the extension of their inscribed monuments, continue to occupy a vast space and undoubtedly to have a strong cultural influence on Anatolia. At the end of the 7th C. BC, they fell under the Lydian yoke, relayed by the Persian yoke.

They remain under the Persian yoke until the arrival of Alexander in -333. The Roman presence, from the end of the 2nd century BC, will not alter the Greek cultural and linguistic environment in which they have evolved since the Macedonian conquest.
