12) How does Midas' transformation in paragraph 4 develop his character and the meaning of the story? Cite evidence from the

the Hesperides.5 His joy knew no bounds, and as
soon as he got home, he ordered the servants to set a splendid repast6 on the table. Then he found to his dismay that whether he touched bread, it hardened in his hand; or put a morsel to his lip, it defied his teeth. He took a glass of wine, but it flowed down his throat like melted gold)
