About Semele
Semele, a Theban princess, is the daughter of the hero Cadmus and the goddess Harmonia. She is known for her role as the mother of Dionysus, the Greek god of wine, after a love affair with Zeus. Tragically, Semele never got to raise her son due to the scheming of Zeus' jealous queen, Hera.
