} Limos {
Limos, the daughter of Eris (Goddess of strife), was the Goddess of starvation and famine. She was meant to be the opposite of Demeter (the Goddess of harvest), and in being opposites, they could never meet in person.
However, Limos was who the Goddess Demeter turned to in order to punish Erysichthon, King of Thessaly, for destroying her sacred grove. Or rather she sent a nymph as her messenger to request that Limos curse Erysichthon with unquenchable hunger. Limos did as requested and filled the kings insides with herself. The King began eating uncontrollably until he ate even himself.
