in Greek mythology: Midas, the one who can turn everything he touched into gold, also one of the judges in a musical contest between the gods Apollo and Pan. When Midas preferred Pan's playing of the pipes to Apollo's playing of the lyre, Apollo changed Midas's ears to those of an ass (the donkey, not like 'ass' in 'ass-hole'). Midas was able to conceal his ears from all but his barber, who whispered the secret into a hole in the ground. When the wind blew, the reeds that grew over the hole repeated the story. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
