After the museum The Visitors connect with the trees in the park. They learn about the story of Erysichthon who ordered all of the poplar trees in one of Demeter's sacred groves to be cut down. Demeter punished the king by calling upon Limos, the spirit of unrelenting and insatiable hunger, to enter his stomach. The more the king ate, the hungrier he became. Erysichthon sold all his possessions to buy food, but was still hungry. Finally, he sold his own daughter, Mestra, into slavery.
Erysichthon used his daughter's shape-shifting ability to sell her numerous times to make more money to feed himself, but no amount of food was enough. Eventually, Erysichthon ate himself.
