Semele died.
Zeus saved their unborn child.
Sewn into his thigh, Dionysus was born — the twice-born god.

Semele’s request seemed innocent.
But gods are not meant to be seen.
Zeus revealed himself — and lightning did the rest.

A secret child.
A queen in disguise.
A spark that would become a god.
Semele never saw it coming.

"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."

Tim Ashley 🏳️🌈The Wicker Woman, or Semele in Scrubland: Adele Thomas's unsexy Handel staging opens at Glyndebourne.
There's some decent singing: Stephanie Wake-Edwards and Ayreh Nussbaum Cohen give the best performances as Ino and Athamas.
My Guardian review:-
The cursed necklace of Harmonia is said to have given grief and suffering to everyone who owned it: #Harmonia herself was turned into a snake alongside her husband #Kadmos, her daughter #Semele was burnt by #Zeus' lightning when he kept his promise to come to her as he did to #Hera, and #Jocasta, unlucky mother and wife of #Oedipus, is said to have worn it too.
