I’m wondering if there’s some connection between Rumple’s ability to spin gold and Midas’ curse.
I’m almost positive that Rumpel gave Midas his golden curse. POSITIVE!!!
OMG! Definitely, great thought!! I bet Midas wasn’t very specific in asking when he made that deal 😆
Well, in truth, Midas wasn’t specific, he was just greedy. In the story of Midas, he asks that anything he touches be turned to gold. Unlike the show, in the story there was no way to shield the golden touch, nor was it only in one hand. In the story, everything Midas touched turned to gold – furniture and clothes of which he soon became bored, food and drink of which he could not consume, and even his own daughter was turned into a gold statue when she hugged him at which point Midas sought to remove the Golden Touch and reverse what happened to his daughter. I wonder what happened to Midas and if he made it to SB.
