Summarize Midas Greek Mythology

Midas Greek Mythology

King Midas was married to Pasiphae. Pasiphae was cursed to fall in love with the prize bull, and the inventor, Daedalus, built her a mechanical cow so she could meet with the bull. Soon, a child was born and it was half man, half bull. It had the body of a man, but with the hideous head of a bull. King Midas had Daedalus build a maze (the labyrinth) that the creature (it's called the Minotaur) to be trapped in. Each year, Crete had to send 7 men and 7 women to be locked in the maze and eaten by the Minotaur. One year a young man named Theseus was picked to go, and with the help of the princess Ariadne, killed the Minotaur and escaped together. (Later, they stopped at an island so Ariadne could bathe, and Theseus left without her. THE END.)

Explanation

Midas is a way of explaining the flaw of Greed.

In one of the myths Midas saves a friendly satyr, and in return, he is granted a wish. Midas wishes that anything that he touches is turned to gold. The satyr issues a warning about this wish, saying that it is a dangerous wish and will cause issues in the future, but Midas ignores the warning and asks for it anyway. Later, Midas realizes that instead of a gift, it is more of a curse when he turns his daughter to gold. After asking a god how to reverse the curse, he is told that anything in a certain river (that I can't remember at the moment, sorry) will wash the curse away. If you want more on the myth you should probably read or search for it more.
