according to the "iliad", the phrygians were trojan allies during the trojan war. the phrygia of homer's "iliad" appears to be located in the area that embraced the ascanian lake and the northern flow of the sangarius river and so was much more limited in extent than classical phrygia. homer's "iliad" also includes a reminiscence by the trojan king priam, who had in his youth come to aid the phrygians against the amazons ("iliad" 3.189). during this episode (a generation before the trojan war), the phrygians were said to be led by otreus and mygdon. both appear to be little more than eponyms: there was a place named otrea on the ascanian lake, in the vicinity of the later nicaea; and the mygdones were a people of asia minor, who resided near lake dascylitis (there was also a mygdonia in macedonia). during the trojan war, the phrygians sent forces to aid troy, led by ascanius and phorcys, the sons of aretaon. asius, son of dymas and brother of hecabe, is another phrygian noble who fought before troy. quintus smyrnaeus mentions another phrygian prince, named coroebus, son of mygdon, who fought and died at troy; he had sued for the hand of the trojan princess cassandra in marriage. king priam's wife hecabe is usually said to be of phrygian birth, as a daughter of king dymas.
