King Midas' daughter



The daughter of King Midas is shown in the Secret of King Midas film during flashbacks.

Although her name is not mentioned in the film, in some versions of the Midas myth her name was Zoe.

The 'daughter' version of the myth (she is turned to gold) was used by Nathaniel Hawthorne in the 1852 book "A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys". Walter Crane did an illustration for the 1893 edition of it.

Sara narrates when reading the papyrus A Sacrifice for Love how she was turned to gold at her father's touch and returned to life when Midas sacrificed his powers (by giving away 3 talismans) for love.
