The Golden Touch (Minas)

Midas
，
was a King of Macedonian Bromium, where he ruled over the Brigians
and planted his famous rose gardens
．



One day,the old hero Silenus
，
Dionysus' former teacher, was found sleeping and
drunken in the rose gardens
．
The gardeners tied him and led him before Midas.
Then Silenus told some wonderful tales to Midas.
Midas enjoyed the tales very
much and entertained Silenus for five days and nights, and then ordered a guide
to lead him to Dionysus' headquarters
．



Dionysus
，
who had been worrying about Silenus
，
was glad to see him back and
asked how Midas wished to be rewarded
．
He replied without hesitation
：
?Please
turn all I touch into gold. ' However, not only stones, flowers and the furniture of
his house turned to gold. Midas was delighted at first then he found the water he
want to drink and the food he want to eat turned to gold too. Midas soon begged
to
be
freed
from
his
wish,
because
he
was
fast
dying
of
hunger
and
thirst.
Dionysus told him to visit the source of the river Pactolus and there wash himself.
He
obeyed,
and
was
at
once
freed
from
the
golden
touch,
but
the
sands
of
the
river Pactolusare bright with gold to this day

点金术

弥达斯是马其顿勃洛弥恩的国王。他统治勃里癸亚人民，种植闻名遐迩的玫瑰花。


一天，狄俄尼索斯以前的老师森林之神老西勒诺斯喝醉了，躺在弥达斯的花园里酣然大睡。
园丁 发现了他，把他捆起来领去见弥达斯。西勒诺斯给弥达斯说了一些很有意思的故事，
让弥达斯很高兴。于 是他盛情款待老山神五天五夜，然后派向导护送他回到狄俄尼索斯的
大本营。

< br>狄俄尼索斯一直在为西勒诺斯担心，看到西勒诺斯平安回来很高兴。他询问问弥达斯有什
么要求， 他应该怎样报答他。弥达斯毫不迟疑地回答说，
“
请恩准使我摸到的一切都变成金
子。
”
然而，变成金子的不仅仅是石块、花朵和屋内的陈设。他坐下吃饭时，他吃的食物和
喝的水也都变成金子。过了不久，弥达斯恳求狄俄尼索斯使他从他那愿望中解脱开来，因
为他饥渴交加， 快死了。狄俄尼索斯逗弄弥达斯，开心得很。他叫弥达斯前往帕克托罗斯
河的源头，在河里洗个澡。弥达 斯依法行事，立即解除了点金术，但帕克托罗斯河的沙子
至今因含金而闪闪发光。

Eros was the god of love
，
better known by his latin name Cupid

Son
of
Aphrodite
by
Ares
，
he
took
his
place
among
the
small
gods
of
Olympus

He
was
represented
as
a
little
naked
boy
，
with
sparkling
wings
，
and
he
carried
his bow and arrows wherever he wandered
．
Shooting his thrilling arrows
in evils
，
he inspired the passion of love and provided all nature with
life
and
power
of
reproduction
．
The
lovely
，
naughty
god
had
two
kinds
of
arrows
：
the
gold tipped arrows used
to quicken
the pulse of
love and the
lead tipped ones to palsy it
．
Besides
，
he had a torch to light hearts
with
．

Though sometimes he was blindfolded
，
no man nor god
，
Zeus himself
included
，
was safe from his tricks
．
At one time the little naughty god
was wounded by his own arrows and such burning love was awakened in him
for
the
human
maiden
Psyche
that
he
disregarded
the
constant
interference
of
his
mother
and
plucked
up
his
courage
to
beg
Zeus
for
justice
．
Another
famous story where Eros played an important part was the Argonautic
expedition

Medea
，
daughter
of
king
Aeetes

was
wounded
by
cupid'
arrows

took Jason's part in recovering the golden fleece and eventually became
the hero's wife

这位可爱而又淘气的小精灵有两种神
箭：
加快爱情产生的金头神箭 和中止爱情的铅头神箭。
另外，
他还有一束照亮心
灵的火炬。
