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。
