Description
Midas is remembered as a notorious lover of gold. This proverbially rich king of Phrygia, who is said to have discovered black and white lead, was the first to place offerings at Delphi, and it is told that he offered the royal seat on which he sat to give judgement. The seat was marvellous but had he offered his judgement instead, he would have lost nothing.
