Hera discovered the affair when Semele was pregnant. Appearing as an old crone, Hera befriended Semele, who confided in her that her husband was actually Zeus. Hera pretended not to believe her, and planted seeds of doubt in Semele' s mind. Curious, Semele asked Zeus to grant an unspecified favor, and got him to swear by the river Styx that he would grant it. Semele demanded of Zeus that he reveal himself in all his glory as proof of his godhood. Though Zeus begged her not to ask this, she persisted and he agreed, unable to break his oath. Mortals, however, cannot look upon a god without dying. Zeus came to her armed in his thunder and lightning, and Semele perished.
