King Midas was a foolish king. He came across a little man asleep in his garden.it turned out to be a servant of god Dionysus so as Midas was cunning looked after the man and treated him as a king. After he returned the man to Dionysus and as a reward for treating his servant so well he was granted one wish . Midas wished that everything he touched would turn to gold. From then on, he was unable to sleep and unable to eat. He eventually turned his daughter to gold. He went to ask for the wish to be returned and Dionysus asked him to go and wash in a river and the gold will float away......
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.

The god in King Midas was Dionysus, the god of wine. KING MIDAS WASNT A GOD AT ALL BUT REALLY KING MIDAS WAS A VERY GREEDY MAN THAT TURNED EVERYTHING HE TOUCHED TO GOLD BUT WHEN HE TURNED HIS DAUGHTER TO GOLD HE FELT THAT HE HAD LOST HIS GREATEST TREASURE!!!
Dionysus, god of wine and grapes, gave Midas any wish he desired after Midas found his friend Sileas.
There was no condition. Midas reunited Dionysus with his surrogate father and repaid Midas with a wish. Midas wished that everything he touched turned to gold. Dionysus warned him to think about it carefully, but Midas ignored him. He didn't realize his mistake until he could no longer eat or drink, and begged to have the gift removed after he turned his beloved daughter to a statue of gold.
King Midas, king of Pessinus in Phrygia. King Midas. He was given the golden touch by Dionysus because that is what he wished for. When he realized what a mistake it was, he had to beg him to take it back and make everything back to the way it was.
