He felt privileged that a friend of a god came to be with him.
Because King Midas had sheltered and hospitably entertained Bacchus's follower Silenus.
Dionysus (not Apollo) granted Midas the ability to turn everything he touched into gold, because he treated his (Dionysus') old friend Silenus so hospitably. Midas was delighted at first, but this changed when he found that his food and drink turned to gold too, as well as any people he touched, including his own daughter.
Yes it is. King Midas saw the satyr Silenus who was a friend of the god of wine, Dionysus, and invited him to stay with him for a few days, where he treated him like a king. When Silenus returned to Dionysus he was very pleased and he offered Midas a wish. Midas was a greedy man so he wished that everything he touched would turn to gold. When he woke up the next day he had the 'Midas touch' and whatever he touched turned to gold, including any food he tried to eat and eventually his own daughter by accident. So Midas prayed to Dionysus to remove the curse and he told him to go and wash in the river Pactolus. Everything he had touched turned back to what it had been before, including his daughter, and he shared all the gold he still had with the people in his kingdom.
He was Silenus to Romans, too. Do not believe he was called Silvanus, that is the equivalent of Pan.
