Dionysus

 __ Welcome to the Dionysus Page! __  __ Here, you will learn all about Dionysus. __  Here is a myth about Dionysus birth.  The story mostly takes place in Thebes where a woman named Semele lived. The people involed in the story are Zeus, Hera, and Hermes.  When Zeus met this mortal girl named Semele he fell in love with her then she got pregnant with Dionysus. Then Zeus said to her "ill give you any thing you wish." But when Hera found out about this she was mad, mad that Zeus was seeing another woman again like he is always doing. So she gives Semele doubt and telling her to question Zeus godly form. But when she asked Zeus to see his true form Zeus couldn't say know but he promised he would give her any wish. Zeus tried talking her out of it but she wouldn't listen. So then Zeus showedher his true form but when he did she was burned to ash (Humans can't see a gods form or they die). Therefor after she died he rescued the baby and sowed it on to his thigh. The mistake that was made was Zeus can't cheat on Hera and never give anyone wishes or it will turn out badly.
