Why are dionysus and Midas enemies?

Dionysus and Midas were never enemies, Midas was in fact favored by Dionysus twice - once for granting his wish, and the second time in telling Midas how to rid himself of it.


How did king midas lose his powers?

It was said after King Midas touched his daughter with his golden touch she turned into a gold statue. He was stricken with grief when he couldn't find any way to relieve her. He preached to Dionysus - who had given him his powers - who told him of the way to be rid of his powers. He told Midas to wash in the river Pactolus. Midas did so, and when he touched the waters, the power flowed into the river, and the river sands turned into gold. This explained why the river Pactolus was so rich in gold, and the wealth of the dynasty claiming Midas as its forefather no doubt the impetus for this etiological myth.


Who says so you rule all this wealth with no great joy?

It is most likely said by Bacchus (Greek: Dionisyius) in the Midas story, for Midas was extremely sad because of the things that happened, and Bacchus (for it was a roman story, therefore using his latin name) most likely asked that and then told him how to get rid of the gift.


What is the resolution of King Midas in his Golden Touch?

When Dionysus tells Midas that if he washes his hands under water, everything that he turned into gold would turn back to normal. The curse would go away too.


What is the point of view of the King Midas story?

Although it has been told and then re-told through many different versions, it is generally true to say that the point-of-view of the King Midas story is from the 3rd person, which is fitting for the "moral fable" that it essentially is. Through this perspective, the audience is supposed to see Midas from a higher perspective than he can see himself, which adds additional weight to the basic moral at the center of the ancient story.

What does to have the midas touch mean?

In Greek legend Midas was a King who was granted any reward by the God Dionysis for a good deed Midas had done. Midas asked that anything he touched should be turned to gold and was given that power. Only then did Midas realise he would starve to death and asked to be relieved of the power. In modern days if we say someone has the Midas touch we mean that everything they do is successful or profitable.
