Yes. Well, I'm looking for a reference to legend or myth... something centuries old that, ideally, may be known to readers.
When we use a term like "Midas touch" it's a kind of short-hand for that sort of person or situation. It's the short-hand (the reference) that I'd like to find. When we say, "well, he cried wolf, now no one pays any attention to him" people know what we mean.
