Interestingly, the daughter isn't mentioned in the original story of King Midas and we're not really sure when she was added to the story but Nathaniel Hawthorne chose to include her in his telling if the story in "the wonder book for girls and boys" so it's possible that he came up with her. I love the fact that dispite it not being historical accurate to the antiquity, we retell the myth with the daughter cause it makes it a better story. Bonus: her name is marigold

The second part of the myth (when Midas gets donkey ears) was made into a Portuguese fairytale called "Prince With Donkey Ears". In the version that I read, a king and a queen have a son, and they invite fairies to bless him with abilities (like Sleeping Beauty). The first two fairies blessed him with good stuff, and then, the third fairy is just like "I want you to have donkey ears."
When I was small, someone told me that midas died of starvation because everything he touched turned to gold. I always wondered why he didn't ask his servants to feed him. Guess that person was wrong

This second half of the story is very similar to a story named "the king and the tamarind drum" that I have heard before, a king who was so fond of himself that he said that he looks better than all the gods. Enraged at this statement the god made deformed him(donkey's ears), but he kept this as a secret and only his barber knew and the barber out of the wish to tell someone shouted it in a tree trunk. Sometime later the tree was made into a drum and as soon as it started playing, it shouted "our king has donkey's ears".

This is where Aladdin comes in the hand of Midas it was like a Greek tale but in Aladdin they referred it to a hand. In English translation it basically means to make anything into money and people usually refer that to gold. It's nice to see where the origin came from and it's actually put into alot of movies especially pirate movies but named differently
Myth videos are the only reason I'm subbed (Well, that and the riddles)

Nobody's gonna talk about how the barber just "buried" his words
Reminded me of a scene from the movie "in the mood for love" where the main character told a story that in the old days if someone had a secret they didn't want to share they went up a mountain, found a tree, carved a hole in it, and whispered the secret into the hole. Then they covered it with mud. And leave the secret there forever.
My favorite myth is probably the Norse story of how Thor dressed up as a bride to get his hammer back.

As stories involving the ancient Greek Gods go, this is probably one of the most benign ones. No deaths, no gruesome eternal punishments, Dionysos even revived Midas' daughter. And donkey ears are probably the least cruel punishment I ever heard an ancient Greek God inflict when angered. Had it been Zeus, he'd probably have him chained to the inside of a giant salpinx which, for the rest of eternity, would be played every day for hours by the least musically talented giant Zeus could muster.
Apollo was like: I heard you were talking sh!t
I'ma do that lol the very next time somebody tell me a secret I'ma go dig a hole and whisper it into the ground. Lmao 😁
