Origin of Dionysus:
Zeus had gone to see Semele every night, and she soon became pregnant with a boy. In anger, Hera tricked Semele into asking Zeus to reveal his godly self: certain death for any mortal. Zeus did so, and Semele died, but Dionysus survived. When he arrived at Olympus, he created quite a stir. There were only 12 thrones, and he wanted a throne for himself. The gods began to argue over who should give up their throne, but Hestia quietly stood up from her throne and sat on the floor in the ashes to tend the hearth. Thus, Dionysus took the throne of the most humble goddess of all.
