Have you ever wanted to live forever? After this episode, you might want to rethink that! This week on Tales of Olympus, we are diving into the most legendary and hilarious mistake in Greek mythology: the story of Eos (the Titan goddess of the dawn) and her mortal boyfriend, Tithonus.

Midas strikes again! The Donkey Ear Incident

What is up, demigods, legacy kids, and satyrs! Welcome back to Tales of Olympus. He's back... and he's making even worse decisions than before! In today's episode, we are catching up with everyone's favorite gold-obsessed ruler, King Midas. You’d think after almost starving to death from the "Golden Touch," he would just sit quietly and stay far away from the gods. But nope! This time, Midas wanders into a massive musical showdown between Pan (playing his syrinx reeds) and Apollo (playing his golden lyre). When the mountain god Tmolus crowns Apollo the winner, Midas makes the zero-brain-cell decision to yell that the contest is rigged. Big mistake. Huge. Apollo decides that if Midas has such terrible taste in music, he shouldn't have human ears anymore—and ZAP! Midas walks away with a pair of fuzzy, twitchy donkey ears. From giant purple turbans to an ultimate ancient Greek "weed" leak in the dirt, find out how nature completely exposed the king's most awkward secret! Plus, stay tuned until the very end for our Myth vs. History lightning round to find out the real-world history behind those weird donkey ear hats. 🎮 PLAY THE TALES OF OLYMPUS 3D GAME!

Dive into the world of the gods NOW: click here to play! [https://edu.delightex.com/LKD-RNJ] What is up, demigods, legacy kids, and satyrs! Welcome back to Tales of Olympus. In today’s episode, we are throwing it back to the ultimate OG cautionary tale of greed, bad choices, and the absolute worst case of buyer's remorse in ancient history: King Midas and the Golden Touch. You might remember this guy as the tacky billionaire from The Heroes of Olympus who turned Leo and Piper into expensive gold lawn ornaments, but today we are exploring the original myth. From throwing a massive 10-day party for a lost, drunk satyr named Silenus, to making a zero-brain-cell wish to Dionysus, Midas learned the hard way that true wealth isn't something you can store in a vault. Plus, stay tuned until the very end for our Myth vs. History lightning round, where we look at the real-world 2,700-year-old tomb archaeologists discovered in Turkey Powered by Firstory Hosting [https://firstory.me/zh]
