Phrygian mythology originates from the ancient Phrygian civilization in what is now modern-day Turkey. It features a rich tapestry of gods and goddesses, with key figures such as Cybele, the mother goddess associated with fertility and nature, and Attis, her consort, who symbolizes rebirth and vegetation. The myths often reflect themes of life, death, and renewal, emphasizing the connection between humanity and the natural world. The Phrygians practiced various rituals and festivals to honor their deities, including the famous Meleager myth, which highlights heroism and the struggle against fate. Their mythology influenced later cultures, particularly the Greeks and Romans, who adopted and adapted many Phrygian elements into their own belief systems.
