King Midas received the gift of the golden touch as a reward for his hospitality to the satyr Silenus, a companion of the god Dionysus. Impressed by Midas's kindness, Dionysus granted him the wish that everything he touched would turn to gold. However, Midas soon realized the curse of this gift when even food and drink transformed into gold, leading to his regret and desire to reverse the wish. This story highlights themes of greed and the consequences of one’s desires.
