King Midas was the ruler of Phrygia. One day, Midas found a satyr - a creature with the body of a man and legs of a goat - in need of help. So Midas took the satyr home and looked after him.
Silenus - a satyr - is a special friend of Dionysus and ... donkey and lay snoring at the side of the road. He's woken when a king - King Midas - and his soldiers come riding up.
