About Penia
In Plato's Symposium, Penia, or Penae, is the personification of poverty and need. She conceived Eros with an intoxicated Porus in Zeus's garden while at Aphrodite's birthday. Her sisters are Amechania and Ptocheia. Penia was also mentioned by other ancient Greek writers such as Alcaeus, Theognis, Aristophanes, Herodotus, Plutarch, and Philostratus.
