Limus
(
Λιμός), the Latin
Fames, or personification of hunger. Hesiod (
Hes. Th. 227) describes hunger as the offspring of Eris or Discord.
A poetical description of Fames occurs in Ovid (
Ov. Met. 8.800, &c.), and Virgil (
Aen. 6.276) places it, along with other monsters, at the entrance of Orcus.
