点金术
弥达斯是伊达山大女神和一位姓名不详的英雄的儿子。他是马其顿勃洛弥恩的好寻欢作乐的国王。他统治勃里癸亚人民,种植闻名遐迩的玫瑰花。
一天,狄俄尼索斯酒神和追随者从色雷斯出发去维奥蒂亚。狄俄尼索斯以前的老师森林之神老西勒诺斯不巧跟队伍走散了。他喝得醉醺醺的,躺在弥达斯的花园里酣然大睡。园丁发现了他,把他捆起来领去见弥达斯。他给弥达斯讲述有关大洋河彼岸的、与连成一片的欧罗巴、亚细亚或阿非利加完全脱离的一个大洲的奇妙的故事。大洲上座落着神奇的城市,居住着身材高大、幸福而长寿的人民,拥有值得赞颂的法律制度。西勒诺斯的故事使弥达斯听得欣喜若狂。他盛情款待老山神五天五夜,然后派向导护送他回到狄俄尼索斯的大本营。
狄俄尼索斯一直在为西勒诺斯担心。现在,他派人问弥达斯有什么要求,他应该怎样报答他。弥达斯毫不迟疑地回答说,“请恩准使我摸到的一切都变成金子。”然而,变成金子的不仅仅是石块、花朵和屋内的陈设。他坐下吃饭时,他吃的食物和喝的水也都变成金子。过了不久,弥达斯恳求狄俄尼索斯使他从他那愿望中解脱开来,因为他饥渴交加,快死了。狄俄尼索斯逗弄弥达斯,开心得很。他叫弥达斯前往帕克托罗斯河的源头,在河里洗个澡。弥达斯依法行事,立即解除了点金术,但帕克托罗斯河的沙子至今因含金而闪闪发光。

阿特拉斯和珀尔修斯
珀尔修斯杀死墨杜萨之后,提着她的脑袋翻山越海四处飞行。夜晚降临时,他来到日落之处,地球的最西端。他很想在这里休息过夜。这是阿特拉斯国王的王国。阿特拉斯长得五大三粗,天下无双。他拥有成群的牛羊,没有来自邻帮或敌人的侵犯。不过,他最引以自豪的是他的果园。那儿在金叶的虚掩下,金树枝上挂满了金苹果。珀尔修斯对阿特拉斯说,“我是来作客的。我的父亲是宙斯,我杀死了墨杜萨。我来是想找个休息的地方和充饥的食物”。然而,阿特拉斯想起古时候的预言说过,有一天,宙斯的一个儿子将夺走他的金苹果。于是,他回答道:“走开!你自吹自擂的光荣业绩和高贵血统一类谎话都救不了你的命”。说着,阿特拉斯便动手想把珀尔修斯赶出去。珀尔修斯发现巨人力大无比,他对付不了,便说:“既然你看不起我对你的友谊,那就请你勉为其难,接受我的礼物吧”。他转过脸去,高举起墨杜萨的脑袋。阿特拉斯顷刻间化成了石头。他的胡须和头发变成树林;双臂和肩膀变成了峭壁;头成了山顶;骨头成了岩石。他身体的每个部分都不断膨胀,终于成了一座大山。根据神祗的心愿,天体及其群星落在他肩头,由他来背负。
