I have never heard of one. You see, what I have read in the past is that when Semele started "seeing" Zeus. she soon fell pregnant, when Hera found out she started playing a cruel trick. She showed at Semele's and befriended, pretending to be a nurse. When Semele told her that Zeus was the father of her soon to be born child. Hera pretended to not believe her, which planted dout he asked him to show his true form to her. So Semele asked Zeus to prove he was indeed Zeus. He tried to tell her what would happen, but she wouldn't have it. When she finally convised him, she turned to ash as soon as she saw him, because she was just a mere mortal. Zeus managed to save their baby, Dionysus, and sent him to Asia to grow up.
