(Hmmm, we didn't think about that part.)When Midas begs Dionysus to take back the wish, Dionysus tells him to bathe in the river Pactolus.He does, and the power of his golden touch flows out into the water, leaving gold nuggets in the sand. Ta-da—wish ungranted. |

Theseus |
Theseus was a hero of Greek mythology associated with the city-state of Athens, and best known for slaying the Minotaur. Theseus was also the leader who unified the Greek region of Attica under a single ruler, which paved the way for the development of democratic principles in Athens.Theseus' father was Aegeus, king of Athens, and his mother was Aethra, daughter of the king of Troezen. King Aegeus had no children and no heir, and so he traveled to the Delphic Oracle to seek counsel. On the journey home, he stopped to visit King Pittheus of Troezen and became drunk. Pittheus offered his daughter to Aegeus, and she became pregnant.Aegeus resumed his journey, but left Aethra with her father in Troezen. He instructed her to send their child, if it was a boy, to Athens when he reached a certain age. As the story goes, Aegeus left a sword and sandals under a very heavy rock. If their son was able to retrieve the sword and sandals, he would be recognized as Aegeus' heir upon arrival in Athens.When Theseus reached the age of a young man, his mother shared Aegeus' instructions with the boy. Theseus successfully moved the boulder and claimed the sword and sandals of Aegeus. He then set out for Athens, encountering outlaws and monsters along the way. By defeating these obstacles and many more over the course of his life, Theseus became a Greek hero. |

Perseus |
Perseus, in Greek mythology, son of Zeus and Danaë. His grandfather, Acrisius, had been warned by an oracle that his grandson would kill him and therefore put Perseus and his mother in a chest and threw it into the sea. It drifted to Seriphus, where King Polydectes befriended the two. After a time Polydectes fell in love with Danaë but was embarrassed by the presence of her full-grown son. He sent Perseus to fetch the head of the Gorgon Medusa, thinking that Perseus would die in the attempt. The gods, however, loved Perseus. Hermes gave him a curved sword and winged sandals, Athena a mirrorlike shield, and Hades a helmet that made Perseus invisible. Thus armed, Perseus slew Medusa. While fleeing the other Gorgons, Medusa's sisters, Perseus asked Atlas for help. Atlas refused, and Perseus, by means of the Medusa head, promptly turned him into a mountain of stone. On his way home Perseus rescued Andromeda from a sea monster and married her. When he arrived in Seriphus, he killed Polydectes and his followers. He then gave the Medusa head to Athena. He went with his mother and his wife to Argos. There, while competing in a discus contest, Perseus accidentally killed his grandfather. Thus the prophecy was fulfilled. Perseus was the father of Electryon, who was the grandfather of Hercules. The famous figure of Perseus by Benvenuto Cellini stands in the Loggia dei Lanzi in Florence. |

Medusa |
Medusa was a monster, one of the Gorgon sisters and daughter of Phorkys and Keto, the children of Gaea (Earth) and Oceanus(Ocean). She had the face of an ugly woman with snakes instead of hair; anyone who looked into her eyes was immediately turned to stone. Her sisters were Stheno and Euryale, but Medusa was the only mortal of the three.She was originally a golden-haired, fair maiden, who, as a priestess of Athena, was devoted to a life of celibacy; however, after being wooed by Poseidon and falling for him, she forgot her vows and married him. For this offence, she was punished by the goddess in a most terrible manner. Each wavy lock of the beautiful hair that had charmed her husband was changed into a venomous snake; her once gentle, love-inspiring eyes turned into blood-shot, furious orbs, which excited fear and disgust in the mind of the onlooker; whilst her former roseate hue and milk-white skin assumed a loathsome greenish tinge.Seeing herself transformed into such a repulsive creature, Medusa fled her home, never to return. Wandering about, abhorred, dreaded, and shunned by the rest of the world, she turned into a character worthy of her outer appearance. In her despair, she fled to Africa, where, while wandering restlessly from place to place, young snakes dropped from her hair; that is how, according to the ancient Greeks, Africa became a hotbed of venomous reptiles. With the curse of Athena upon her, she turned into stone whomever she gazed upon, till at last, after a life of nameless misery, deliverance came to her in the shape of death, at the hands of Perseus.See Also: Perseus, Adventures of Perseus, Pegasus, Gaea, Oceanus, Athena |
