Firstly, I want to point out that Midas was not a god, but a human king. He was granted a wish by the god Bacchus, roman god of wine. He wished for everything he touched to be turned to gold. And everything did, including anything he tried to drink or eat, and even his own children when they tried to hug him. It is a story to show that greed (or materialism) does not make you happy.
