For more information on Phrygia, visit Britannica.com. [1]

Ancient Phrygia in the west of the Anatolian plateau, the country around the sources of the Sakarya Nehri (river) within the triangle of the modern cities of Afyon, Eskisehir and Ankara, was named after the western Indo-Europeans who came here from Europe around 1200 BC and left their mark as skilled craftsmen with a culture of their own. [2]

Its major cities included Laodicea, Hierapolis and Colossae; the Phrygian cities of Pisidian Antioch and Iconium were located in Phrygia Galatica. [1]

The Trojan language did not survive; consequently, its exact relationship to the Phrygian language and the affinity of Phrygian society to that of Troy remain open questions. [3]

The Phrygian language, which died out in the 6th c. AD, was closely related to Greek, as can be seen from 80 ancient Phrygian inscriptions (7th-4th c. BC.), written in a script rather like Greek and over 110 neo-Phrygian writings in Greek from Roman times. [...] The Phrygians arrived in Anatolia in 1200 BC, among the migrating tribes known as the “people of the Aegean Sea “. [2]

It was named for a people whom the Greeks called Phryges and who dominated Anatolia between the Hittite collapse (12th century BC) and ascent of Lydia (7th century BC). [1]

The Phrygian language survived until about the 6th century AD, when it finally gave way to Greek. [3]

A Large district in central Asia Minor; a mountainous region, it lay in the western watershed of the great Anatolian plateau and was best suited for grazing. [1]

The skeleton of King Midas was laid on a large bench, surrounded by other benches full of gifts for the afterworld. [...] Its early history is only briefly chronicled (Herodotus), recounting the suicide of its last king, Midas, in Gordion when it fell to the Cimmerians (676 BC.). [2]

The mythic Midas of Thrace, accompanied by a band of his people, traveled to Asia Minor to wash away the taint of his unwelcome “golden touch” in the river Pactolus. [...] Subsequently the state of Phrygia arose in the 8th century BC with its capital at Gordium. [3]

An ancient region of central Asia Minor in modern-day central Turkey. [4]

It was settled c. 1200 B.C. and flourished from the eighth to the sixth century, after which it came under the influence of Lydia, Persia, Greece, Rome, and Byzantium. [1]

pc nyc prep

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

The teens attend several different private high schools (except for Taylor, who attends an academically selective public school and tries to straddle both worlds), none of which is named nor allowed filming. [1]

Prep-school seniors Jessie and PC hit New York’s most exclusive spots; Camille is obsessed with getting into Harvard; Kelli falls for the charms of playboy Sebastian. [2]

“I hate that show!’” Jessie shouts at a saleslady who has made the mistake of identifying the outfit she’s trying on as “like ‘ Gossip Girl.’ [1]

Camille, 17, is an academically driven student at the Nightingale-Bamford School who enjoys the occasional high school drama. [3]

Once The Real Housewives of New Jersey ends, we’re betting on NYC Prep (Tuesday, 10 pm/ET on Bravo) to be our next guilty pleasure this summer. [4]

That night, Taylor catches the eye of Sebastian, with his Leif Garrett hair and eyebrows the size and plushness of suburban-den couches. [1]

Taylor must choose between Cole and Sebastian; Camille hosts a dinner party; PC insults Kelli and Jessie. [2]

The oldest is PC, 18, a student who attends the Dwight School and the grandson of billionaire Peter Peterson, while the youngest of the bunch is Taylor, 15, a student at Stuyvesant High School and the only cast member who does not attend a private high school. [3]

Who He Is: PC is a popular senior whose sophistication is seen in both his dapper style and in the way he greets friends with a double-cheek kiss. [4]

Much as with “The Real Housewives of New York,” the kids featured here have the air of parvenus. [1]

Jessie, 17, is a student at the Dwight School on the Upper West Side of New York who is passionate about fashion. [3]

Like many New York kids, this jaded 18-year-old grew up fast, surrounded by rock stars, artists, and the city’s literati. [5]

On Prep, Bravo gives viewers an inside look into the lives of the privileged teens on the Manhattan prep-school scene - call it a real-life Gossip Girl. [4]

Attractive and wealthy, PC is interested in photography ‘ both fine art photography and fashion photography ‘ and is a music aficionado. [5]

Sebastian, 16, is a student at The Ross School and is known for his reputation as a womanizer. [3]

Axton made an agreement with Lake Shore Music to issue an album of his greatest hits in 1981, and Lake Shore didn’t even bother to send him a copy of the album (I sent him a copy after an interview in 1983). [...] Jeremiah was Hoyt Axton’s record label. [1]

It was run from his headquarters near Nashville and was named for the character in Axton’s #1 song “Joy to the World” (written by Hoyt and made into a hit by Three Dog Night), Jeremiah the Bullfrog. [...] The label was used primarily as a recording vehicle for Axton and members of his troupe. [1]

Once you accept we will replace your current myspace player with the new and improved MySpace player. [3]
