Adephagia

Adephagia (/ædiˈfiə/,[1] Ancient Greek: Ἀδηφαγία) in Greek mythology was the goddess and personification of gluttony.

Mythology edit

Adephagia was only mentioned in one source, as having a temple on the island of Sicily, at which she was worshipped alongside Demeter.[2]

"It is said also that there is a temple in Sicily dedicated to Gluttony (Adephagia), and an image of Ceres Sitos (Demeter, the corn-giver)."[3]
