#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - 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.
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, while being so beautiful that you know Aphrodite is just
staring daggers in its direction."--Kieron Gillen, co-creator of The
Wicked + The Divine
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. 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. Now Persephone must navigate the confusing politics
and relationships that rule Olympus, while also figuring out her own
place--and her own power.
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.
This volume collects episodes 1-25 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore
Olympus.
