The brith of Dionysus was a tragic one. His mother was the mortal Semele and his father was the god Zeus. Hera found out about yet another affair and took a mortal form and acted as a nurse for Semele. When Semele gossiped that the father was Zeus, Hera - in disguise- questioned her. 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.
