The ass of war

Some fun facts about Midas: who granted the wish of turning everything into gold was Dionysus, the god of wine and parties, not Silenus. Anything that touched Midas's body turned into gold, not just his hands, that means his clothes turned into gold, so, yeah, Midas was butt naked all the time. Also, when Midas touched the lava, it should turn into liquid gold, since that's what happened when Midas tried to drink water. To remove his curse, Midas had to wash his body in the Pactolous river, not the river Styx, to undo his curse, and turn his daughter into a human again, since she was turned into a gold statue. But that wasn't the end of the line for Midas, because he had his ears turned into donkey ears by Apollo, god of medicine and music (besides sometimes being depicted as a sun god instead of Helios), because Midas thought that a satyr played the lyre better than Apollo.

It was nice how the developers included individuals from Greek history into the God of War games, as added details for the series. The tale of King Midas: king of Phrygia who gained the power to turn anything he touched into gold, gifted to him by Dionysus after helping the satyr Silenus. But the king would soon be driven mad as anything that touched his body would turn to gold and pleaded with Dionysus to take away his gift. So in order to remove his “curse” Midas would have to bath in the Pactolus river and in doing so would remove the gift he received from Dionysus but would then be given mules’ ears after angering Apollo.
