King Midas asked Bacchus for the golden touch.
He washed away the golden touch in the river Pactolus.
The "golden touch" was a reward item on Poptropica, but is now available only through the Poptropica store (for credits).
He washed away the golden touch in the river Pactolus.
In Greek mythology, King Midas had the ability to turn everything he touched into gold. To have the Midas touch means that what you do tends to make wealth.
When Dionysus tells Midas that if he washes his hands under water, everything that he turned into gold would turn back to normal. The curse would go away too.
Midas was a guy who had the ability to touch anything and it would immediately turn into gold so saying you have the Midas touch means whatever you do becomes good.
King Midas said to Apollo, "Everything that I touch will turn to gold."
In the story "The Golden Touch," King Midas is granted a wish by the god Dionysus to turn everything he touches into gold. Initially delighted by his newfound power, Midas soon realizes that it comes with unintended consequences as he turns his daughter into gold. Desperate to reverse the wish, Midas asks Dionysus to take back his gift and learns the valuable lesson that material wealth is not as important as the love of family and friends.
Nowadays, a Midas touch means that you are charming. This expression got started with the Greek myth of King Minas, who begged the god, Dionysus to grant him that everything he touched would turn to gold. Ultimately, this led to Minas not being able to eat, as well as turning his daughter into a golden statue.
The King Midas story is obviously not true, it is not possible to turn things into gold with a touch, in real life.
