Zeus fell in love with a mortal named Semele. Hera found out and went down to Earth disguised as an old woman and pretended to be nice. Eventually, she asked who Semele's husband was and Semele said he was Zeus. Hera said that lots of men claim that and when he returns she should ask him to reveal himself in all his glory. So when Zeus came back, Semele asked him to grant her a wish. He swore on the River Styx, which is the most solemn oath a god can give and she told him her wish. He tried to change her mind, but she wouldn't. When he revealed himself, she burned to ashes, because no mortal can behold the full glory of the gods and survive. Zeus was able to save the child she was carrying, Dionysus, and sewed him to his leg, and eventually he came out.
That's the story of his birth. Hope it helps!
