Limen is something that is associated with a threshold. It also deals with what we have been talking about which is crossing the threshold. This means that on a persons journey they will encounter some sort of obstacle on their journey that they will have to overcome. In Watership Down and The Odyssey both have a threshold that the character will encounter.
In Watership Down one of the thresholds that the charcters have to encounter would be when some of the rabbits have to decide whether they wanted to leave the warren. This was a very big threshold for the rabbits to over come. They would be out in the wild all alone and have no idea of where they were going.
In the Odyssey an example of a threshold would be when Odysseus had to cross the sea. While he was crossing the sea there was a storm that Poseidon had sent. The threshold would be for Odysseus to make it through the storm and pass the obstacle. The storm ended up breaking his raft but still Odysseus managed to make it through the threshold.
