Why is dionysus called the resurrecting god?
Zeus became angry with Dionysus' mother, Semele while she was pregnant with him. He slammed her with a thunderbolt, and as she burned down to an ash heap, Zeus grabbed the infant from her womb and sewed it into his own leg. When the infant was strong enough to be born, Zeus cut the stitches, removed the baby and named him Dionysus. Since Dionysus was 'Born Twice,' once when he was pulled from his mother's womb, and again from Zeus' thigh, he was sometimes call the 'Resurrected God.'
Why does Dionysus have problems with Hera?
In one version, Dionysus was the son of another women (either Demeter or Persephone) by Zeus. This made Hera vengeful and she sent her Titans to rip the baby apart. The heart of the baby Dionysus was rescued and Dionysus was recreated and implanted in the womb of Semele. Hera then tricked Semele into asking Zeus to show his true form to her which killed her. Dionysus was able to save her from the underworld though. In another version, Dionysus was the son of Semele and Zeus. Either way, Hera tried to have him killed.
Why did Zeus stitch dionysus into his thigh?
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.
