In Greek mythology, Limos (/ˈlˌmɒs/; Ancient Greek: Λιμός, romanizedLīmós; 'Famine', 'Hunger', 'Starvation'),[1] is the personification of famine or hunger. Of uncertain sex, Limos was the offspring of Eris, with no other mythology.[2] Limos was held in particular regard at Sparta. The equivalent in Roman mythology is Fames.
