Are you sure it was Greek mythology that the story came from? I'm not
familiar with it, which points to it being from other mythologies (or
points
to early-onset dementia in me).
It isn't the answer I'd give a generous god, though. If I was granted one
wish, it would be that all my future wishes would come true without
causing
any harm to me or mine. And if it were to be a modern-world money-wish, it
would be that my bank account would always have in it $1.00 more than I
need. That's greedy enough, I think.
