Penia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Plato's Symposium, Penia was the personification of poverty. She married Porus at a feast. She was sometimes considered the mother of Eros. Her sisters are Amechania ("want of resources") and Ptocheia ("beggary").[1]
Penia is also a sweet Easter Bread from rural Italy passed down through an American family with those Italian roots. See also: Recipe for Penia
