Semele |
 | | However, Zeus rescued the unborn child from the mother's ashes and sewed it in his thigh until it was ready to be born. |
| | Thus Dionysus is sometimes called "the twice-born." Dionysus was raised at first by Semele's sister and brother-in-law, Ino and Athamus, and later by the nymphs of Nysa. |
| | As an adult, he retrieved his mother from Hades and made her a goddess; she was called Thyone. |
