MIDAS
(Μίδας):
In Greek mythology, this is the name of a king of Phrygia famous for his Midas
touch. After entertaining the drunken Silenus
for eleven days, Midas returned him to Dionysus
who offered him his choice of anything he wanted. Midas asked to have
everything he touched turned to gold. His wish was granted and Midas
rejoiced, but not for long, for even his food and drink turned to gold
before reaching his mouth. He prayed to Dionysos who took pity on him and
gave him instructions for removing the cursed blessing.
The name Midas is said to be Phrygian, and
of unknown etymology. It might share the same origin as Hebrew Midrash,
meaning "to repeat," especially in order to make an impression on
the mind. Midrash refers to the methods used (including repetition)
in Old Testament stories for fixing morals in the mind.
Midrash derives from the word midah/middah
("action, measure, rule"), the plural of which is midos
("actions of man," or "rulers of man" especially of
man's traits; hence "personality traits." Midos is the
ruler of our personality and behavior; it determines what is the central
focus of our mind which affects all of our actions and thoughts. Midas
was ruled by negative midos, bad traits; he was self-focused and
acted rashly, making a bad choice, when offered anything he wanted.
