Plato Answer:

Some phrases that stand out to me are “not true,” “none of that probably ever happened,” “we need to be more specific,” and “nothing more than an accidental ‘touch’ of zinc.” Based on these phrases, I would describe the author’s diction as straightforward.

One day, Dionyssus, the god of wine and revelry, passed through the kingdom of Midas. one of his companion a satyr name called silenus got delayed as he thought of taking nap in  the rose garden which is in Midas kingdom.
