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.
