A deity or divine figure in ancient Phrygian mythology, possibly related to or an alternate form of Cybele or Agdistis, the mother goddess.
From ancient Phrygian religious texts and Greek accounts of Anatolian deities. The name may derive from 'Agdistis' (a hermaphroditic deity) with variant spelling conventions, though etymology from Phrygian root words is uncertain.
Ancient Phrygian gods are mysterious because we know them mostly through Greek and Roman writers who sometimes misunderstood or reshaped them to fit their own religious ideas.
