36a King in Greek Mythology who could turn anything into gold ( 4) ?M?S

It cannot be MIDAS as in the same crossword there is another clue
33A Greedy king of Pessinus, Phrygia ( 5) This answer is Midas.

The only explanation is that the 36a clue is wrong.
Any suggestions

I think this has already been dealt with in your earlier thread.

Can someone identify this crossword which might have been published earlier.
That would be easier then to identify if the given clue is wrong.
Some of the down clues are:
25 d Chinese Philosophical system based on writings by Lao Tzu ( 6)
Ans : TAOISM
31 d The fourth- longest river in Africa ( 7)
Ans: ZAMBEZI

Hence the 36a clue must be wrong.

Can someone who has done it previously help locate the correct clue ?

Sorry i don't understand what you are asking. Are you saying you are doing the crossword and know some clues but you don't know the name of your crossword?

Looking at earlier threads on this I saw this bizarre post answering what crossword it was:
"It is the weekly Friday Magazine one, published by Gulf News in Dubai (uncredited), but I have the impression it is a British newspaper of approx. one year ago! DT maybe?! "
I'm puzzled as to why at least 3 different posters have asked this question this weekend if it comes from an obscure Dubai crossword from 12 months ago

factor30. You are perfectly right. It is from Gulfnews , Dubai, obviously pick up from a syndicated piece which as you have mentioned , is from a British publication from of old. But the fact still remains that we do not have an answer for that particular clue.
Many thanks for your efforts.
