Baucis and Philemon pleased the gods by showing kindness and hospitality to Zeus and Hermes, who were disguised as travelers seeking shelter. Despite their impoverished state, the couple shared their humble home and meager provisions with the strangers, demonstrating their selflessness and generosity. This act of hospitality earned them the favor of the gods and a reward for their virtue.
