 As a result of this Dionysus "was also called Dimetor [of two mothers]... because the two "Dionysoi" were born of one father, but of two mothers"

Still another variant of the narrative is found in Callimachus and the 5th century CE Greek writer Nonnus.In this version, the first Dionysus is called Zagreus.Nonnus does not present the conception as virginal; rather, the editor's notes say that Zeus swallowed Zagreus' heart, and visited the mortal woman Semele, whom he seduced and made pregnant.
