There are relatedmythological figures namedPorus orPoros (Ancient Greek:Πόρος,lit. 'Resource', 'Plenty') inGreekclassical literature.

InPlato'sSymposium, Porus was the personification of resourcefulness or expediency.^[1] Porus was the son of the goddessMetis,^[2][3] but his father is unknown.

He was seduced byPenia (poverty) while drunk on more than his fill of nectar atAphrodite's birthday. Penia gave birth toEros (love) from their union. According to the characterDiotima, Eros is forever in need because of his mother, but forever pursuing because of his father.^[4][5]

This figure exists inRoman mythology as well and is known asPomona,^{[citation needed]} in which Porus is thepersonification ofabundance.
