Perhaps the most famous figure from Phrygia's long history is Midas, the king who reputedly could turn anything he wished into gold. The familiar figure from Greek mythology may have been based on an actual late-8th century BCE ruler known in Old Phrygian inscriptions and Assyrian sources as 'Mita of Mushki' (r. 738 BCE - c. 696 BCE).

The nature of the cultural shift occasioned by the arrival of the Phrygians is difficult to assess.
