Baroq House - Baucis and Philemon

Another gem from Drewery Lane in Melbourne’s CBD, and another Greek myth. This time Baucis and Philemon, the only people in the village to offer hospitality to the disguised gods Zeus and Hermes. They asked that when one of them died, that the other would die as well. When they died, the couple were transformed into entwined trees, an oak and a linden.
