Midas

Midas is a character from Greek mythology known for his ability to turn everything he touches into gold, often referred to as the "Midas touch." This power, granted by the god Dionysus, became a curse when Midas realized he could not eat or drink because his food transformed into gold. The story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of greed and the consequences of wishing for wealth without considering the implications. Midas's legacy endures as a symbol of the pitfalls of desiring material riches at the expense of what truly matters.
