TED-Ed: The myth of Zeus' test | Iseult Gillespie

In a village, strangers seek shelter but are turned away until they reach the home of Baucis and Philemon, an elderly couple who offer them hospitality. The couple's kindness is rewarded when the strangers reveal themselves as Zeus and Hermes. The gods transform the couple's home into a temple and grant their wish to die together. In the end, they transform into intertwined trees, symbolizing their eternal love and devotion.
