Best Answer

Some are famous for their remarkable lives, others for their remarkable deaths. Little is known about Semele's life except that Zeus loved her. But she, forgetting her mortal condition, wished to see him in the same guise as when he meets Hera, and when the god showed himself she perished. For this extraordinary way of dying, she is well known worldwide. Later, through the love of her son, she was brought up from the Underworld and made immortal, which is not less remarkable.
