The Lydians experienced hunger because in times of King Atys, the Lydians of Asia Minor, they lived a great scarcity of food in the region. It hit very hard that people had to make decisions. At first, Lydians resisted expecting better days to come. However, the scarcity lasted almost 18 years. So they had to device something to support the difficult times.
