That's a rather sad story. But I've found that many myths usually are. [ Helios doesn't like sad stories. But it's an intriguing one regardless. ]

Let's see. [ What myth could he tell, there's so many after all. ]

Oh how about one of the classics! King Midas.

[ Helios will go on then about the old satyr Silenus going missing and winding up being brought to King Midas. Midas was hospitable and treated Silenus to comforts for ten days while Silenus told stories and shared songs. Midas returned Silenus back to Bacchus and in return Midas was rewarded by anything he touched turned into gold. Obviously it was more of a curse, as Midas soon realized, as he could not eat and he even turned his own daughter into a golden statue. Midas prayed to Bacchus and Bacchus told Midas to wash in the river Pactolus. However when Midas did so the entire river turned into gold.

Frustrated with his lack of a solution Midas became a follower of another god, Pan who was the god of fields and satyr. Pan compared his music with Apollo, another god, and Apollo was awarded the winner. However Midas disagreed and Apollo turned his ears into those of a donkey. Midas tried to hide it but his barber found out as was told not to mention it to anyone. Unable to do so the barber went out into the meadow, dug a hole in the ground, whispered the story into it, then covered the hole up. A thick bed of reeds later sprang up in the meadow, and began whispering the story, saying "King Midas has an ass's ears" ]

And that's one from mine.
