Gold-loving king (5)
I believe the answer is:
midas
'gold-loving king' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for midas that I've seen before include "Legendary king with golden touch" , "old king" , "Phrygian king" , "Mythical king with golden touch" , "I'm sad (anag) -- king of Phrygia" .)
