The Story of Philemon and Baucis
(Emerson’s Coffee Bike)
A wonderful story about entertaining the gods unawares
Date: 12/16/2017 8:26:26 PM ( 7 y ago)
According to ancient Roman mythology and Ovid's Metamorphoses, Philemon and Baucis had lived out their long lives nobly, but in poverty. Jupiter, the Roman king of the gods, had heard of the virtuous couple, but based on all his previous experiences with humans, he had serious doubts as to their goodness.
