#Phrygia #Otrus #Afyonkarahisar #Sandıklı #YanıkÖren #Otrus was one of the five cities of the Eucarpic plain and may have been named Otrus after an emigration from Otroea in #Bythinia, which according to #Strabo [XII, 566] was founded by #Otreus, the king of #Phrygia of the time of the #Trojan War. The passage about this famous warrior, whom Priam helped fight against the #Amazons in a battle on the river Sangarius, in the #Iliad [III] is brief but very descriptive: "... When I was in #Phrygia I saw many horsemen, the people of Otreus and of Mygdon, who were camping upon the banks of the river Sangarius; I was their ally, and with them when the #Amazons, peers of men, came up against them, but even they were not so many as the Achaeans."
