The story of King Midas is a famous Greek myth about a king who wished that everything he touched would turn to gold. This wish was granted by the god Dionysus, but Midas soon realized the consequences of his greed. Food, drink, and even his beloved daughter turned to gold when he touched them, leaving him in despair. Desperate to reverse the wish, Midas sought help from Dionysus, who instructed him to wash in the river Pactolus. After doing so, Midas lost his golden touch and learned a valuable lesson about the dangers of greed and the importance of appreciating what truly matters in life.
