In one story, this figure’s son Lityerses (“lit-EER-sees”) made travelers reap corn, then beheaded them with a scythe. This figure’s father Gordias was made king after bringing this figure into town on a wagon. After disagreeing with Tmolus, this figure started wearing a turban, only for a barber to whisper about it into a field of reeds, which repeated it when the wind blew. After this figure rated (*) Pan over Apollo in a music contest, Apollo gave him ass’s ears. The river Pactolus was used to wash away a gift given to this figure, which he received for treating the drunken Silenus hospitably and returning him to Dionysus. That gift made this Phrygian man unable to touch his daughter or eat. For 10 points, name this king who turned everything he touched into gold. ■END■
