    Interestingly, the daughter isn't mentioned in the original story of King Midas and we're not really sure when she was added to the story but Nathaniel Hawthorne chose to include her in his telling if the story in "the wonder book for girls and boys" so it's possible that he came up with her. I love the fact that dispite it not being historical accurate to the antiquity, we retell the myth with the daughter cause it makes it a better story.
    Bonus: her name is marigold

    This second half of the story is very similar to a story named "the king and the tamarind drum" that I have heard before, a king who was so fond of himself that he said that he looks better than all the gods. Enraged at this statement the god made deformed him(donkey's ears), but he kept this as a secret and only his barber knew and the barber out of the wish to tell someone shouted it in a tree trunk. Sometime later the tree was made into a drum and as soon as it started playing, it shouted "our king has donkey's ears".

      If you wish to be smart: you learned something you might regret
      If you wish to be beautiful: rivalry and annoyance increases
      If you wish for money: you'll just get greedy
      If you wish to become immortal: keep in mind, you will feel depressed because you can't die for too long
      If you wish for a ps5: you will probably care less because you take for granted
      Is there's something you wanna add here?

    In Terry Prachett's Discworld, the Seriph of Al-Ybi was cursed and everything he touched turned into Glod - a small and angry dwarf called 'Glod' from a another part of the world. This is because there was a typo when the cursing was done.

    Hidden within the usual tale meant as a warning against hubris which the Greeks were so fond of, I really enjoyed the simple symbolism of the barber's secret being carried on the wind. It doesn't matter how reputable and responsible you think someone is, if you speak words meant to be confidential, they will almost undoubtedly be transmitted beyond your realm of control.

    I learned about donkey-eared Midas in history class, the video is exactly as my teacher explained, thank you for your effort. If you come to Turkey one day, the place where Midas washed his hands is in Manisa. The villagers claim that there is still a glow there and that it is due to the gold flowing from Midas' hand.

  • @mouhssinemoufid7761
    @mouhssinemoufid7761 6 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    The story of King Midas is a myth about the tragedy of avarice and narrates what happens when true happiness is not recognized. Midas was a man who wished that everything he touched would turn into gold. However, he had not thought that this wish was not actually a blessing, but a curse. His greed invites us to think and realize the consequences that may lead us to become slaves of our own desires. The phrase the Midas touch comes from this myth and is used to say that somebody has a good fortune.

  • @revanius2213
    @revanius2213 5 ปีที่แล้ว +37

    In some versions he had three kids. Lityerses, a dangerous swordsman who killed travelers but was eventually beaten by a hero (I think Heracles) Zoe, his most well known and favorite child who was the daughter in the story and a second daughter who did not really do much.
    Also I always liked myths involving Artemis.
