EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from ancient Greek mythology, Midas, a Phrygian king renowned for his wealth and wisdom, is depicted in the company of Silenus, the satyr elder and companion of Dionysus, the god of wine and revelry. The scene unfolds a pivotal moment in their encounter, where Silenus, in recognition of Midas's services rendered, offers him a wish as a token of gratitude. Midas, blinded by his insatiable desire for more wealth, foolishly asks that whatever he may touch shall be turned to gold. Grinning mischievously, Silenus grants the wish, and Midas's dream soon turns into a nightmare. As he touches the food on his table, his daughter, and even his own daughter, the once familiar objects and loved ones are transformed into lifeless gold. Realizing the consequences of his imprudent wish, Midas begs Silenus to withdraw his gift. The once joyful king is now a tormented soul, unable to enjoy the simple pleasures of life. The image captures the moment of Midas's despair, with his anguished expression and outstretched hands, pleading with Silenus to undo the irreversible damage. This historical print, showcasing the timeless tale of Midas and Silenus, is a poignant reminder of the dangers of greed and the importance of appreciating the value of life beyond material wealth. The classical artistry and intricate details of the print transport us back to the rich history of ancient Greece, allowing us to immerse ourselves in the myths and stories that continue to captivate and inspire us.
