The jealous Juno appeared to her in the form of her aged nurse,
and induced her to ask Jupiter to visit her in the same splendour
and majesty with which he appeared to Juno. Jupiter warned her
of the danger of this request; but, as he had sworn to grant
whatever Semele desired, he was obliged to comply, and appeared
before her as Jupiter Tonans. Semele was killed by the
lightning; but Jupiter saved her child, Bacchus, with whom she
