Galatea and Midas are two of John Lyly's most engaging plays. Hiding together in the forest, the two maidens fall in love, each supposing the other to be a young man. Midas (1590) uses mythology in quite a different way, dramatising two stories about King Midas in such a way as to fashion a satire of King Philip of Spain (and of any tyrant like him) for colossal greediness and folly.
