Beautiful and dramatic, I couldn't put this book down and just had to carry on reading on webtoon after finishing it. Scandalous gossip, wild parties, and forbidden love—witness what the gods do after dark in this stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of mythology’s most well-known stories from creator Rachel Smythe.

Debuting on Webtoon Originals in 2018, Lore Olympus captured hearts and minds with its glamorous setting, razor-sharp comedic timing, complex characters in messy relationships, and above all else, its breathtakingly beautiful visuals. Persephone wakes up very confused and embarrassed, but Hades explains the situation to her and she relaxes a little bit more. Setting Greek myth in a modern day society of fast cars and bars, Lore Olympus is comedic and playful with the well-known characters in a way that is fresh and just thoroughly entertaining. But Hades defies his brother’s decree, sheltering Persephone in the Underworld—and as the pair spend more time together, they are able to speak openly about their pasts.

stars was that there was totally NOT enough HadesxPersephone content for the intro to the serial webcomic! I do want to point out that the drawings for all the female characters are overly and unnecessarily sexualized, which truly annoyed me and even made me a little uncomfortable. As one should probably expect, we get to watch the gods be complete pricks to each other and spite one another and scheming for revenge or just pure sport.

On her first night in the city, Artemis takes Persephone to one of Zeus's parties, where Hades sees her for the first time.

Aquelas folhas mais durinhas meio plastificadas, mais ou menos como alguns papéis de foto (quem lê histórias nesse formato vai entender). Now I'm sad that Volume One is over, I have no idea when Volume Two is coming out (please be soon, please be soon), and I'm thinking I'm going to probably finally cave and just start reading it as a webtoon because there's no way I can wait for the next volume bind-up. more tw/cw that i wrote down: drinking, drugging, blackmail, captivity, kidnapping, parental abuse, paparazzi/stalking, blood depiction, rape, sexual coercion, unwanted sexual pictures being taken, anxiety depiction, trauma depiction, and disassociating while something traumatic is happening.

Definitely a lot more heavy than what I ever thought we would get considering the light tone of the rest of the story. Apollo is taken aback by Persephone's beauty and proceeds to be a total condescending and controlling asshole, freaking wakes her up in the middle of the night and freaken rapes her and takes pictures of it and yeah obviously I hate him. I hated how trapped Persephone feels and that she needs to prove herself 😭 She deserves the world and Hades! If reading about mythological god clowning around while spreading gossip and scandal is intriguing to you, Lore Olympus by Rachel Smythe is a must. Persephone rappresenta il conflitto tra ciò che gli altri vogliono che tu sia e ciò che desideri per te stess*, il bisogno di libertà e anche di poter sbagliare, purché a deciderlo sia tu.What Scott Pilgrim did for Canadian slackers, Lore Olympus does for the Greek Pantheon, while being so beautiful that you know Aphrodite is just staring daggers in its direction. This edition of Smythe’s original Eisner Award–winning webcomic Lore Olympus features exclusive behind-the-scenes content and brings the Greek pantheon into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel. Hera: She's funny and witty and I love how protective she is of Persephone 🥺 I want more of her and Zeus since they both look so adorable in this! This full-color boxed set contains Lore Olympus: Volume One, Lore Olympus: Volume Two, and Lore Olympus: Volume Three, the first three hardcover volumes in Smythe’s original Eisner Award-winning webcomic that brings Greek mythology into the modern age through sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novels. On the plus side, I liked the art and I liked Hades for the most part, and I really liked Hera since she's usually made into a one-note jealous wife in Greek mythology retellings.

For books sold outside of the US, Canada, and the UK, check with your local book retailer for availability. Lore Olympus es una de las novelas gráficas o Webtoons, como quieran llamarle, más adictivas que he leído en mi vida.

sorry but minthe might be my fav character 🏃🏽‍♀️ i think she's a great example of how well-rounded the writing is.
