They say King Midas was greedy.
They say he begged a god for gold.
That is not the truth.
Midas was a faithful husband, a devoted father, and a king who valued peace over excess. But when Dionysus grows jealous of mortal happiness, he grants Midas a "gift" that turns everything he touches to gold.
When the curse is lifted, Midas believes he has been forgiven.
He is wrong.
What follows is not a lesson in greed - but a punishment in love, immortality, and divine cruelty.
Some curses do not end at the river.
Some only begin there.
