| ENT_DIONYSUS | SRC_HESIOD_THEOGONY | direct attestation | Theogony 940-942: Dionysus is born of Zeus and the mortal Semele; Zeus took the premature infant from Semele's womb after her death and sewed him into his thigh to complete the gestation — "golden-haired Dionysus"; Hesiod is the primary genealogical source for Dionysus as a son of Zeus and a mortal woman, establishing the foundation for his mixed divine-mortal nature |
