Anadolu’nun merkezinde üç yüz yıl ayakta kalan Frigya Devleti, hem bir devlet olarak hem de tarihte isimleri unutulmayan hükümdarlarıyla her zaman araştırmalara konu olmuştur. Günümüze kadar ulaşan yazılı antik kaynakların incelenmesi, çoğunlukta rivayetler şeklinde anlatılan Frigya medeniyeti ile ilgili bu bilgilere yeni bir bakış açısı getirebilir. Milattan önceki ve sonraki dönemde birçok düşünür, bilim adamı, yazar Frigya Devleti’ni ve hükümdarlarını araştırma konusu etmiş, bu esrarengiz yaşamın sırlarını açıklamaya çalışmışlardır. Bu makalede, Frigya Devleti’nin kralı Midas üzerine yazılan ve Türkçeye henüz çevrilmemiş birçok kaynak bir araya getirilmiştir. Bu kaynaklar Hesiodos, Herodot, Ovidius, Plutarkhos, Marcus Junianus Justinus gibi birçok Antik Yunan ve Roma tarihçilerin, filozofların eserleridir. Bu eserlerin tanınması gerektiğini düşünerek orijinal dili olan Latincelerini, kimi zaman ise Yunancadan İngilizceye ve Rusçaya yapılan çevirileri üzerinden yola çıkarak bahsettik. Efsanevi kral hakkında antik düşünürlerin yanı sıra çağdaş bilim adamlarının farklı yorumları da ortaya konulmuştur. Kimi zaman örtüşen fikirler, arkeolojik kazılar ve bilimsel çalışmalar sayesinde yeni boyutlar kazanarak tartışmalara yol açmaktadır. Yaptığımız bu çalışma bize antik kaynaklarda Midas’a (Anadolu medeniyetlerine) dair birçok belge olduğunu göstermiştir. Antik kaynaklarda yer alan bu veriler doğrultusunda sadece Midas’a dair bilgilerimiz artmakla kalmaz, bu kaynaklarda o dönemde Anadolu topraklarının tarihine ilişkin daha birçok gün yüzüne çıkmamış bilgi ve veri olduğunu da görürüz. Bu çalışmayla Frigya uygarlığı hakkında araştırmalar yapacak olan akademisyenlerin göz ardı edemeyecekleri kaynakları ortaya çıkararak daha nitelikli, kapsamlı araştırmaların yapılmasını sağlayacağımızı umut ediyoruz.
The Frigya State, which has been in the center of Anadolu for three hundred years, has always been the subject of research, both as a state and its unforgettable names in history. The study of written ancient sources to date can bring a new perspective to this information about the Frigia civilization, mostly described in the form of riviates. In the period before and after Milat, many thinkers, scientists, writers have been the subject of the research of the Frigya State and its rulers, trying to explain the secrets of this mysterious life. In this article, many sources have been gathered about the King of the Frigya State Midas and have not yet been translated into Turkish. These sources are the works of many ancient Greek and Roman historians, philosophers, such as Hesiodos, Herodot, Ovidius, Plutarchos, Marcus Junianus Justinus. Considering that these works should be recognized, we talked about the Latin, which is the original language, and sometimes through translations from Greek to English and Russian. Other than ancient thinkers about the legendary king, different comments of contemporary scientists have also been revealed. Sometimes overwhelming ideas, archaeological excavations and scientific studies lead to controversy by gaining new dimensions. This study we do has shown us that there are many documents about Midas (Anadolic civilizations) in ancient sources. According to these data in the ancient sources, we do not only increase our information about Midas, but we also see that in these sources there are information and data about the history of the Anatolian lands in that period that have not been seen for many days. With this study, we hope that more qualified, comprehensive research will be carried out by discovering the sources that the academics who are going to do research on the Frigia civilization cannot ignore.
The Phyrgian Kingdom situated in central Anatolia has always attracted the attention of researchers both as a powerful kingdom and in terms of her kings whose names have always been remembered throughout the history. The research on the ancient sources can give way to the possibility of bringing a new point of view to this civilization, which has come to our present day through legends and myths. During the pre-historic period and also during the Christian era, various philosophers, scientists and writers have studied the Phyrgian Kingdom and the ruling kings and have tried to explore this mysterious civilization. This article aims to study various written sources on the great Phyrgian king Midas, which have not yet been translated into Turkish. These sources are mainly the works of many ancient Greek and Roman philosophers, poets and historians such as Hesiodos, Herodotus, Ovidius, Plutharkos, and Marcus J, Justinus. We believe that it is important for these works to be made known to the modern reader. Thus, we have studied these sources using their English and Russian translations from Ancient Grek and Latin. We have observed that the ancient philosophers’ ideas on the legendary Phyrgian king Midas, as well as those of the modern researchers. These views sometimes overlap with one another, but sometimes do not. Nowadays, through scientific research and archelogical excavations, the dispute on the king Midas has been gaining new perspectives. This study has shown that the ancient sources are rich in terms of the documents related with Midas (Anatolian Civilizations). With the help of this data in the ancient sources it would be possible to better comprehend the different civilizations which have become sovereign states in Anatolia throughout history. We hope that this study will be a good reference for academicians and researchers who want to carry on their studies on the Phrygian Kingdom.
