Bryges
Bryges or Brigi was said by Herodotus to be the name by which the Phrygians were known before they crossed the Hellespont into Anatolia, possibly associated with the collapse of the late Bronze Age. The Brigi were supposed to have inhabited Macedonia, and may have originally been a Thracianised tribe of Illyrians, similar to their Macedonian neighbours.
