The birth of a star
What could have been...⚡
often considered to be the most important myth of Orphism. Zeus had intercourse with Persephone in the form of a serpent, producing Dionysus (otherwise Zagreus). He is taken to Mount Ida where (like the infant Zeus) he is guarded by the dancing Curetes.
Zeus intended Dionysus to be his successor as ruler of the cosmos, and even as child Dionysus was able to hold Zeus's thunder bolts when he would sit on his lap, which caused Hera to be jealous and fearful of his growing powers, that she incited the Titans to kill the child.
Distracting the infant Dionysus with various toys, including a mirror, the Titans seized Dionysus and tore (or cut) him to pieces. The pieces were then boiled, roasted and partially eaten, by the Titans. But Athena managed to save Dionysus' heart, by which Zeus was able to contrive his rebirth from Semele.
