Description
HUGO AWARD FINALIST • ONE OF NPR’S BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR • “What Scott Pilgrim did for Canadian slackers, Lore Olympus does for the Greek pantheon—beautifully drawn, with all the drama you’d expect from the gods. Aphrodite would be jealous!” —Kieron Gillen, co-creator of The Wicked + The Divine
Persephone, the young goddess of spring, is new to Olympus. Raised by her mother Demeter in the mortal world, Persephone’s life changes when she promises to train as a sacred virgin and is allowed to join the glamorous, fast-paced world of the gods. At a party thrown by her roommate Artemis, she meets Hades, the charming yet misunderstood ruler of the Underworld. What begins as a spark of attraction quickly leads Persephone into the complicated politics and relationships of Olympus, as she discovers her own power and her place in this divine world.
This special edition of Rachel Smythe’s Eisner-winning webcomic Lore Olympus offers a sharp, romantic take on Greek mythology, bringing it into the modern age in a stunning graphic novel format.
This volume collects episodes 1–25 of the #1 WEBTOON series Lore Olympus.
