It's the Day of Zeus / Jupiter's Day / #Thursday! ⚡
"He [#Zeus] went to #Semele in Kadmos' palace. Then her mortal frame could not endure the tumult of the heavens; that gift of love consumed her. From her womb her baby, still not fully formed, was snatched, and sewn (could one believe the tale) inside his father's thigh, and so completed there his mother's time."

@La_Pythia Yes, exactly! His mother #Semele had been convined by Hera (in disguise) to ask #Zeus to come to her like he goes to bed with #Hera so he appeared to her in his divine form with fire and lightning. She didn't survive 😔
#Hermes saved preemie #Dionysos and he was sewn into Zeus' thigh where he gestated for 3 months until he emerged a fully grown baby.
