PLS HELP ON #2 and 3 ASAP . THANKS

Answer 1

2. The writer, Ovid, chose that image to show that Midas was greedy and was never satisfied with the treasures he already had.  That contributes to the point that Ovid is trying to make in his story because it shows that if one is too greedy, they will eventually lose something important to them.

3.  At the end of the story, Bacchus has Midas give a reason for him to show him mercy.  He does this to make sure that Midas truly understands that what he did was selfish and that he'd be less greedy in the future.
