Answer:
There was a scarcity of food at the time. This was the main reason why the Lydians experienced hunger.
The Asian Manor was home to the Lydians. The
people were involved in the economic activity
of textile and leather materials production. At
the time of this scarcity of food, the King was
Atys.
The scarcity and hunger got so bad that people
could only eat for a day and the next day they would go out of their homes to hunt for food. They alternated between eating for a day and going hungry the next day.
