=Phyllis=, a Thracian, who fell in love with Demoph'o[:o]n. After some
months of mutual affection, Demophoon was obliged to sail for Athens,
but promised to return within a month. When a month had elapsed, and
Demophoon did not put in an appearance, Phyllis so mourned for him that
she was changed into an almond tree, hence called by the Greeks
_Phylia_. In time, Demophoon returned, and, being told the fate of
Phyllis, ran to embrace the tree, which though bare and leafless at the

Phyllis the fair is eldest of the three.

Spenser, _Colin Clout's Come Home Again_ (1594).

=Phyllis and Brunetta=, rival beauties. Phyllis procured for a certain
festival some marvellous fabric of gold brocade in order to eclipse her
rival, but Brunetta dressed the slave who bore her train, in a robe of

herself wore simple black. Phyllis died of mortification.--_The
Spectator_ (1711, 1712, 1714).

=Phynnodderee=, a Manx spirit, similar to the Scotch brownie. Phynnodderee
is an outlawed fairy, who absented himself from Fairy-court on the great
_lev['e]e_ day of the harvest moon. Instead of paying his respects to King
