Product Description
When King Midas goes to the aid of a strange old creature tied up in his vineyard, his good deed brings him ill fortune, for the creature is the friend of the mischievous God Dionysus. Witnessing the king's kindness, Dionysus offers to grant him any reward. "Let anything that I touch be turned to gold," Midas requests in a mad moment of greed. He soon discovers, however, that having the golden touch is a terrible gift indeed.
