The Song of Midas

The Song of Midas is a rich and emotionally layered retelling of the ancient myth where gold is not just a symbol of greed but a weight that distorts love, memory, and desire. In this version, King Midas of Phrygia is not a monster but a man, flawed, tender, and torn between what he longs for and what he fears to lose.

When the power to turn anything into gold is placed in his hands, Midas believes he has been chosen for greatness. But the gift quickly becomes a curse, unraveling the delicate bonds between him and those he loves most. At the heart of it all is a quiet yearning for self acceptance, for connection, for a life not hardened by ambition.

Told with poetic depth and a deep understanding of the human heart, The Song of Midas is a story of transformation in every sense. It explores the cost of what we chase and the beauty of what we risk leaving behind.
