Midas Golden Touch (Song)

The story of King Midas follows the ruler of Phrygia, a man consumed by greed and an insatiable hunger for wealth. After saving a disguised god, Dionysus, Midas is granted a wish and asks for the ability to turn everything he touches into gold. Initially delighted, he soon realizes the curse of his gift as his food, drink, and even his beloved daughter are turned into lifeless gold. Overcome with despair, Midas pleads to the gods to remove his power. His story serves as a timeless cautionary tale about the dangers of unchecked greed and the true value of love and human connection.
