Midas, in Greek and Roman legend, a 👑king of Phrygia, was known for his greed. • According to the myth, the old satyr Silenus had been drinking wine and wandered away drunk. • #Midas recognized satyr is Silenus and treated him hospitably, entertaining him for ten days and nights with politeness. • Dionysus found that his old schoolmaster and foster father, the satyr Silenus. • Dionysus offered Midas his choice of whatever reward he wished for. Midas asked that whatever he might touch should be changed into gold. • Midas rejoiced in his new power • Midas touched every rose in the rose garden, and all became gold. ⚱️He ordered the servants to set a feast on the table.🏺Upon discovering how even the food and drink turned into gold in his hands, he regretted his wish and cursed it. • Midas' daughter came to him, upset about the roses that had lost their fragrance and become hard, and when he reached out to comfort her, found that when he touched his daughter, she turned to gold as well. Now, Midas hated the gift he had coveted. • Midas prayed to Dionysus, begging to be delivered from starvation. Dionysus heard his prayer, and consented; telling Midas to wash in the river Pactolus (near Sardis in modern Turkey). Then, whatever he put into the water would be reversed of the golden touch.
