Having uncontrollable POWER is a disaster | IAM[053] Liberation - Death Streaming With Gold

Midas | Gordian Knot | Black Death | Tragedy of the Sons Having uncontrollable power is a disaster. The blessings can be even more of a curse. Stones can be turned gold, and brutal killings can be packaged as heroic legends. Streaming With Gold Silenus (Ancient Greek: Σειληνός, Romanized: Seilēnós), a companion and tutor to the wine god Dionysus, possessed special knowledge and prophetic powers when drunk. The Phrygian king Midas (Ancient Greek: Μίδας) wished to consult him. So he ordered wine to be added to the fountain from which Silenus often drank, causing Silenus to become drunk. While Silenus was asleep, the king's servants caught him and took him to the king. Midas treated Silenus with hospitality. Silenus was mesmerized by the king's food and told many interesting stories to mesmerize Midas. So, Midas entertains Silenus for ten days and nights to hear more stirring stories. ... Gordian Knot Midas' father was Gordias (Ancient Greek : Γορδίας, Gordías; also: Γόρδιος, Górdios, "Gordius"). Legend has it that he was the last descendant of the royal family of Bryges (or Briges, Greek: Βρύγοι or Βρίγες) in the Balkans. He later fell into poverty as a farmer. Once an eagle landed on the pole of his oxcart. He took this as a sign that he could become king. In the city of Telmissus, east of Phrygia, he met a prophetess. The prophetess advised him to make a sacrifice to Sabazios (Ancient Greek: Σαβάζιος, Romanized: Sabázios). ... The Secret That Can't Be Hidden Midas lost the ability to turn what he touched into gold. He came to hate wealth and moved to the countryside, where he began to worship the god Pan (Ancient Greek: Πάν, Romanized: Pán). Once the god Pan challenged Apollo to a musical contest. The Lydian god of Mount Tmolus (Ancient Greek: Τμῶλος, Tmōlos) was chosen as the referee. Mount Tmolus derived its name from another Tmolus, the son of Ares and Theogone. Later Tmolus was the king of Lydia. Once while hunting on the mountain, Tmolus met a nymph named Arrhippe, a companion of Artemis. Lust at first sight, he raped Arrhippe. Arrhippe then hanged herself. Enraged, Artemis had an angry bull kill Tmolus. Theoclymenus, the son of Tmolus, buried his father on the mountain, which thereafter became known as Mount Tmolus. ... Tragedy of the Sons Anchurus (Ancient Greek: Ἄγχουρος), the son of Midas, was a youth of high moral character. During the reign of Midas, the earth opened a great rift at Kelainai (or Celænæ; Greek: Κελαιναί) in Phrygia. Midas consulted the oracle on how to close the rift. The oracle instructed that the most precious things be thrown in. Midas then ordered the most precious treasures he possessed to be thrown in. But the rift remained unclosed. His son, Anchurus, believed that life was the most precious of all things, so Anchurus mounted his horse and jumped into the rift, which immediately closed. Maybe the incident cost him too much gold and silver, so Midas later aspired to the ability to turn what he touched into gold. His noble son Anchurus died. He also had an illegitimate son, Lityerses (Ancient Greek: Λιτυέρσης), who was a skilled swordsman and a bloodthirsty fighter. He challenged people to harvest contests to see who could reap the other's head. Lityerses decapitated those he defeated and placed the remaining bodies in ears of wheat. Sositheus (Ancient Greek: Σωσίθεος, c. 280 BC) was a tragic poet from Alexandria Troas (Greek: Αλεξάνδρεια Τρωάς; Turkish: Eski Stambul, "Old Istanbul"). While in Athens, he had a boxing match with the Stoic Cleanthes (Ancient Greek: Κλεάνθης; c. 330 BC - c. 230 BC). Cleanthes, like Sositheus, are all adept with pen and boxing. It is less clear now whether their participation in boxing was due to a poorer academic life and so they relied on boxing matches for prize money. ... Speaking of boxers, King Eryx (Ancient Greek: Ἔρυξ, Éryx; Punic: 𐤀𐤓𐤊, ʾRK) of the city Eryx in Sicily, was a famous boxer. He was also beaten to death in the ring by Heracles. But the reliability of this legend is doubtful. For, Eryx was the son of Aphrodite and Butes (Ancient Greek: Βούτης, Boútēs). Butes was one of the Argonauts who stole the Golden Fleece. When the Argonauts met Sirens (Ancient Greek : singular: Σειρήν, Seirḗn; plural: Σειρῆνες, Seirênes), Butes did not plug his ears and, unable to resist the charms of the Sirens' song, swims to Sirens. But Aphrodite, admiring Butes's handsomeness, transferred him to Lilybaeum in Sicily, where he became the lover of the goddess of lust and sex. They gave birth to Eryx. This happened in 1246 B.C., and Heracles died in 1234 B.C.. At this time Eryx was 12 years old. But another theory is that Hercules died in 1226 B.C. so in the timeline, Hercules had the opportunity to kill the young Eryx.
