Miscellaneous Myths: King Midas

We have a new DIONYSUS PIN! Get it while it's gettable! https://crowdmade.com/collections/overlysarcasticproductions/products/overly-sarcastic-productions-dionysus-pin Ahh, Midas. Shockingly one of the least Problematic ancient greek kings, and certainly one of the funniest to read about. Bizarrely good at surviving direct confrontations with temperamental gods!

I like Hawthorne's addition to the myth because it points out that it wouldn't be just Midas who suffered for his poor choice of wishes, but innocent people around him as well. Also I can see Hawthorne looking at the myth and going "Yeah not being able to eat and drink is bad, but there are WORSE things that fall into the *everything* category -- like your loved ones!" As a scientist, I could add that "everything" includes the air which Midas is breathing...enjoy suffocating trying to breath Au instead of O2, man.

The Kurzgesagt video about what would happen if the entire planet turned to gold is hilariously dark.
