The document is about the story of King Midas from Greek mythology. It discusses how King Midas was a greedy man who was granted the power by a magician to turn anything he touched into gold. However, this power ended up being a curse, as when he touched his daughter she began turning to gold. Distraught, Midas pleaded with the gods to end the magic, and they took pity and removed his power.
