Semele was turned into ashes. Before Semele died, Zeus pulled Dionysus out of her womb. Who is Dionysus and Semele? Dionysus is the Olympian god of wine, vegetation, pleasure, festivity, madness and wild frenzy but he wasn't just that. He was the only 2 sided Greek god meaning he had 2 different personalities. One of his personality was a nice friendly person who treated everyone with respect. This represented the harvest of the Greeks. On the other side he was mean, nasty and encouraged you to do the wrong thing.
