Phrygius (Ancient Greek: Φρύγιος) a Neleid, was king of Miletus after Phobius, who fell in love with Pieria (Ancient Greek: Πιερία) daughter of Pythes from Myus, at a festival of Artemis. He promises anything, and Pieria asks for peace between the two cities, which were at war. In this way, the hostility between Miletus and Myus stopped.
