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
@vuongminhe.p1998

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."

If you wish to be smart: you learned something you might regret If you wish to be beautiful: rivalry and annoyance increases If you wish for money: you'll just get greedy If you wish to become immortal: keep in mind, you will feel depressed because you can't die for too long If you wish for a ps5: you will probably care less because you take for granted Is there's something you wanna add here?

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

Then they covered it with mud. And leave the secret there forever.

My concern regarding having a home made of gold would be that of its chemical properties. If I’m not mistaken, gold is a soft, malleable metal-it will dent upon impact, and bend. Having the walls of your home possess those qualities sounds a bit inconvenient, not solely because of maintenance but also for their relative fragility when compared to rock.
