New version! See the difference:
New Old
Hesiod, Works and Days 299 ff :
"Work on, so that Limos will avoid you and august and garlanded Demeter will be you friend, and fill your barn with substance of living; Limos is the unworking man's most constant companion."
Limos is the greek spirit of hunger and starvation, he's the offspring of Eris, the goddess of discord.
I got inspired by the game Titan Quest, where the Limos is a dangerous enemy, eating the player's health bar just like the mythological counterpart would make someone starve. According to Vergil, Limos lives at the entrance to the Orcus, the roman underworld.
