Emerging after the collapse of the Hittite Empire, they built their capital at Gordion—a city steeped in legend and power. The Phrygians are remembered for their rich culture, distinctive art, and enduring myths, including the tales of King Midas and his golden touch.

In this episode, we uncover the history, legends, and legacy of the Phrygians—a people whose blend of myth and history still echoes through the ancient world.
