“This is a refreshingly modern and surprisingly poignant take on the Hades and Persephone myth. Prepare to be swept away!” -Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles This dazzling interpretation of the classic Greek myths is as charming as it is provocative, and as witty as it is startlingly romantic. “It’s easy to see why the internet has fallen in love with Lore Olympus. It’s paced as a soap opera, all drawn-out tensions and long-simmering secrets, and I, for one, am thrilled to be along for the ride.” - New York Times Book Review Smythe’s artistic style features bright washes of color and bold, suggestive lines. This volume collects episodes 1–25 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus. This edition of Smythe’s original Eisner-winning webcomic Lore Olympus brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel. Now Persephone must navigate the confusing politics and relationships that rule Olympus, while also figuring out her own place-and her own power. When her roommate, Artemis, takes her to a party, her entire life changes: she ends up meeting Hades and feels an immediate spark with the charming yet misunderstood ruler of the Underworld. Her mother, Demeter, has raised her in the mortal realm, but after Persephone promises to train as a sacred virgin, she’s allowed to live in the fast-moving, glamorous world of the gods. Persephone, young goddess of spring, is new to Olympus. “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.”-Kieron Gillen, co-creator of The Wicked + The Divine.Scandalous gossip, wild parties, and forbidden love-witness what the gods do after dark in this stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of the best-known stories in Greek mythology, featuring a brand-new, exclusive short story from creator Rachel Smythe.
