The "Midas touch" originates from Greek mythology, specifically the story of King Midas, who was granted the ability to turn everything he touched into gold by the god Dionysus. Initially seen as a blessing, this ability quickly became a curse when Midas found that he could not eat or drink, as even his food and water transformed into gold. The tale serves as a cautionary lesson about greed and the consequences of desires that can lead to one's downfall. Thus, the term "Midas touch" now refers to an ability to generate wealth or success, often with an ironic undertone regarding the risks of excessive greed.
