Mixedthe most in-depth the longest version of Medusa's myth that I have already alluded to actually comes from a Latin text so this is Ovid's Metamorphoses... it's a very horrific myth it really is the definition of victim blaming and I think it's very difficult to read and digest

Mixedbut in the story midas main problem was almost starving to death every single food item he would touch would turn to gold meanwhile in this wishbone adaptation they added in the family element now i do have to say when i read the story i wondered myself what would that mean for midas and human contact in the future does it just mean he's never able to touch anyone again
