Dionysus' mother was a mortal. Mortals couldn't handle the full godliness of someone like Zeus, and Dionysus' mortal mother couldn't stop begging to see Zeus in his full godliness. Finally, Zeus couldn't take the begging, and he let her see himself for the real him, and she burst into flames. Once Zeus realized that Dionysus was in the womb of his mortal mother, not fully grown, Zeus had Hermes come and rescue Dionysus, and Zeus created a hole in his thigh, where Dionysus could mature into a real baby, instead of a fetus. Once Dionysus was a fully grown baby, Zeus opened up that hole, and out came Dionysus.

Semele called Zeus to prove his god-hood, even after Zeus begged her not to. But she asked it, and when he presented him-self in his full glory Semele died. No mortal could look upon an unduised god without dying. Zeus, in a last acted of love saved the baby -Dionysus- from dying aswell and took him out of his mother womb. Zeus sowed the baby to his thigh to allow him to keep growing. finally when Dionysus was ready Zeus cut him from his thigh. He was 'born' on Mount Pramnos in the island of Ikaria.
