The Midas Touch

Claudian states in his In Rufinum: In a version told by Nathaniel Hawthorne in A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys , Midas' daughter came to him, upset about the roses that had lost their fragrance and become hard, and when he reached out to comfort her, found that when he touched his daughter, she turned to gold as well. Now, Midas hated the gift he had coveted. He prayed to Dionysus, begging to be delivered from starvation.

Dionysus heard his prayer, and consented; telling Midas to wash in the river Pactolus. Then, whatever he put into the water would be reversed of the touch. Midas did so, and when he touched the waters, the power flowed into the river, and the river sands turned into gold. This explained why the river Pactolus was so rich in gold, and the wealth of the dynasty claiming Midas as its forefather no doubt the impetus for this origin myth.

Gold was perhaps not the only metallic source of Midas' riches: Midas, now hating wealth and splendor, moved to the country and became a worshipper of Pan , the god of the fields and satyrs. Once, Pan had the audacity to compare his music with that of Apollo , and challenged Apollo to a trial of skill also see Marsyas. Tmolus , the mountain-god, was chosen as umpire. Pan blew on his pipes and, with his rustic melody, gave great satisfaction to himself and his faithful follower, Midas, who happened to be present. Then Apollo struck the strings of his lyre.

Tmolus at once awarded the victory to Apollo, and all but one agreed with the judgment. Midas dissented, and questioned the justice of the award. Apollo would not suffer such a depraved pair of ears any longer, and said "Must have ears of an ass! Midas was mortified at this mishap. He attempted to hide his misfortune under an ample turban or headdress, but his barber of course knew the secret, so was told not to mention it.

However, the barber could not keep the secret. He went out into the meadow, dug a hole in the ground, whispered the story into it, then covered the hole up. A thick bed of reeds later sprang up in the meadow, and began whispering the story, saying "King Midas has an ass' ears". Sarah Morris demonstrated Morris, that donkeys' ears were a Bronze Age royal attribute, borne by King Tarkasnawa Greek Tarkondemos of Mira , on a seal inscribed in both Hittite cuneiform and Luwian hieroglyphs.

The Midas Touch - Storynory

In this connection, the myth would appear for Greeks to justify the exotic attribute. The stories of the contests with Apollo of Pan and Marsyas were very often confused, so Titian 's Flaying of Marsyas includes a figure of Midas who may be a self-portrait , though his ears seem normal. In pre-Islamic legend of Central Asia, the king of the Ossounes of the Yenisei basin had donkey's ears. He would hide them, and order each of his barbers murdered to hide his secret. The last barber among his people was counselled to whisper the heavy secret into a well after sundown, but he didn't cover the well afterwards.

The well water rose and flooded the kingdom, creating the waters of Lake Issyk-Kul.
