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.'
