Phrygia
in ancient geography, an inland province of Asia Minor, bounded N. by Bithynia and Galatia, E. by Cappadocia, S. by Lycia, Pisidia, and Isauria, and W. by Mysia, Lydia, and Caria. It was called Phrygia Pacatiana, and also Phrygia Major Major, in distinction from Phrygia Minor, which was a small district of Mysia near the Hellespont, occupied by some Phrygians after the Trojan War. The part of Phrygia Major was also called Lycaonia.
PHRYNE (fri-ne), a famous courtesan of Greece, and mistress of Praxiteles, who employed her as a model for his statues of Venus. She acquired immense wealth and offered to rebuild Thebes, provided this inscription should be placed on the walls: "Alexander destroyed this city, and the courtesan Phryne restored it"; but her offer was rejected.
