The summary of Midas and the golden touch?

Answer 1

He was Orpheas' student. He had a lot of riches and supposedly wisdom. One day he captured a selinus in his garden (selinus is a follower of Dionysos who is a satyr.It's not a name it's a name for the group of followers) because he wanted to learn from the creature's wisdom. Midas got him drunk by filling the well from which the selinus drank water with wine. The selinus told him something which translates into "It's better for every man and woman not to be born and if they are, they should die as quickly as possible". Midas put the selinus up in his palace for ten days and he offered food and wine in endless quantities and after that, he decided to give the selinus back to Dionysos. Dionysos wanted to reward Midas, so he decided to grant him one wish. Midas asked for the power to turn everything he touched into gold. Dionysos made his wish come true, but the Midas realised that even his food and water turned to gold. He nearly died of hunger and thirst but he begged Dionysos to rid him of this gift. So, Dionysos told him to bathe in the river Paktolos. After that, it is said that you can find specks of gold in that river. And they lived happily ever after :-)

Answer 2

Midas was granted a wish by Dionysus to turn everything he touched into gold. Initially thrilled, Midas soon realized the consequences when even his food and loved ones turned to gold. He begged Dionysus to take back the gift, learning that greed has its price.
