	Baucis and Philemon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Ovid's moralizing fable (Metamorphoses VIII), which stands on the periphery of Greek mythology, Baucis and Philemon were an old married couple in the region of Tyana, which Ovid places in Phrygia, who were the only ones in their town to welcome the disguised gods, Zeus and Hermes, thus embodying the pious exercise of hospitality.
		Realising that her guests were in fact gods, they "raised their hands in supplication, and implored indulgence for their simple home and fare." Philemon thought of catching and killing the goose that guarded their house and making it into a meal for the guests.
		Upon their death, they were changed into an intertwining pair of trees, one oak and one linden, standing in the deserted boggy terrain.

	5, A Wonder-Book, by Nathaniel Hawthorne, 1852
		Baucis had now got supper ready, and, coming to the door, began to make apologies for the poor fare which she was forced to set before her guests.
		Baucis cut him a slice, accordingly; and though the loaf, when she and her husband ate of it, had been rather too dry and crusty to be palatable, it was now as light and moist as if but a few hours out of the oven.
		Baucis (who rubbed her eyes, in order to see the more clearly) was of opinion that the clusters had grown larger and richer, and that each separate grape seemed to be on the point of bursting with ripe juice.

	Santa Fe v Baucis
		Prior to the appointment of commissioners and confirmation of the report fixing the amount of compensation, Baucis filed a demand for a jury on all issues, including the issues of public use and necessity.
		Baucis contends that the only issue on appeal is whether the Code provides for a jury trial on the issues of public use and necessity.
		Finally, we note that Baucis' demand for a jury was premature, given that such a demand can be made only after the final confirmation of the commissioners' report.

	Philemon & Baucis, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
		So while the visitors noticed that their hosts were serving them abounding goodwill, the hosts noticed that each time the mixing-bowl with wine was drained it filled of itself, which should not be so surprising, for goodwill is often the prelude of things that are sometimes considered as miracles when goodwill has not yet appeared.
		With these words the gods took the old couple to a tall mountain in the vicinity, and when Philemon and Baucis looked back from the top they saw the whole country-side flooded with water, but in the middle of this new large lake their own house still remained.
		Thinking of the tragedy that had affected their neighbours they were in tears, for there are those who pity even the most wicked, but while they wept, the gods changed the small cottage into a temple, turning the wooden supports into marble columns, and the straw into gold.
