The Lore Olympus books are a full-color graphic novel adaptation of the WEBTOON comic by the same name from creator Rachel Smythe. The artwork remains unaltered but has been reorganized into a graphic novel layout. Rachel Smythe’s Lore Olympus is a stunning reimagining of classical myth. Smythe adapts the story of Persephone and Hades, removing it from its dark origins and building a brand-new epic with her own complex and beautiful characters. The rest of the gods, nymphs, and creatures of Smythe’s world are the icing on top.” —Liv Albert, author of Greek Mythology: The Gods, Goddesses, and Heroes Handbook and creator of Let’s Talk About Myths, Baby! podcast The art in this series is freaking amazing, the style is so beautiful and unique and even if the plot wasn't all that great (FYI it is fantastic), I would still give it 5 stars for the art. Persephone meets Hades in an elevator and offers him baklava. He declines because he thinks it’s inappropriate to accept gifts from employees. Minthe gets on the elevator and kisses Hades in front of Persephone.
Persephone, young goddess of spring, is new to Olympus. 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. 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. Persephone: The sweet pink cinnamon roll 💗 she is my favourite and I want her to stand for herself and I know she tries her best but sometimes people like Apollo don't know the meaning of NO😤 and all I want for her is happiness!!! Chaos reigns in Olympus as Zeus publicly declares Persephone a traitor and issues a warrant for her arrest. 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. The goddess of spring admits the truth behind the bloody secret that led to Zeus’s ire, and the king of the Underworld shares the trauma he suffered at the hands of his power-hungry father, Kronos.Mientras lees Lore Olympus lo único en lo que piensas es que quieres que todo salga bien para Hades y Perséfone, que por fin se confiesen sus sentimientos, que dejen los prejuicios de lado y por fin decidan ser felices y estar juntos. Read a full summary of Lore Olympus Volume 3 by Rachel Smythe below. If you can’t remember what happened in Lore Olympus Volume 3 and you need a refresher, then you’re in the right place. What happened in Lore Olympus Volume 3? Persephone calls Hades to ask how he is (he hasn’t sent her a friend request on Fatesbook yet), and Minthe calls at almost the same time. Hades rejects Minthe’s call to speak to Persephone. Persephone asks if Hades is okay as he messaged her at 4am.
Artemis: she's so funny, lovely and so damn better than her brother. And the way she said that boys are not allowed in her house but then let Eros in because he brings donuts for her and Persephone 🤣💗 Yes, there is a rape scene towards the end, but this is after all based on Greek mythology, and this at least is handled with care - in the original stories rape happens regularly and it is accepted as totally normal (Zeus specifically seemingly doesn't know impregnation can also involve consent). Hades: I love how Grumpy he is sometimes and yet so soft for Persephone 🥺 and the way he was jealous of his own dog Cerberus because Persephone was touching the dog 🥹Witness what the gods do after dark in the third volume of a 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.
Lore Olympus es una de las novelas gráficas o Webtoons, como quieran llamarle, más adictivas que he leído en mi vida. No solo es una historia absolutamente espectacular que reinterpreta muchísimos mitos griegos de una manera un poco más modera, sino que se centra en Hades y Perséfone. Hera speaks to Zeus about her vision and the theory that it was Apollo who hurt Persephone. Zeus is worried about ruining Apollo’s reputation. Hera spits on Zeus.
This is a refreshingly modern and surprisingly poignant take on the Hades and Persephone myth. Not only does Rachel Smythe's talent as an illustrator shine in Lore Olympus but also her skill with weaving a steamy, often laugh-out-loud funny, and emotional retelling." -Jennifer L. Armentrout, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of From Blood and Ash Hermes awkwardly asks Persephone to head to work with him. Persephone lets Hermes wait inside the apartment while she gets ready and Artemis freaks out because she’s already on edge. Persephone tells Artemis it’s fine because Hermes has already seen her naked. Aphrodite confronts Psyche, who tells her that Eros helped her escape from a marriage to an old man. She didn’t realise Eros was a god when she tried to stab him. Aphrodite decides this needs an experiment.
Persephone tells Eros that she’s going to let her feelings wither over time. He tells her that’s depressing. Persephone admits she feels like a loser because Hades didn’t want her baklava.Witness what the gods do after dark in the fourth volume of a stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of the best-known stories in Greek mythology from creator Rachel Smythe. This full-color edition of Smythe's original Eisner-nominated webcomic Lore Olympus brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel. Content warnings for: sexual assault/rape, a character is drugged without consent, misogynistic jokes/comments, abusive parent Witness what the gods do after dark in the sixth volume of a stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of the best-known stories in Greek mythology, featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes content from creator Rachel Smythe. Six months later addendum: That might be true, lots of rape in ye olde mythology, but I do question why you'd add that to your soapy romance that's mostly read by teens. Feels unnecessary, Rachel Smythe!]
