A contemporary re-imagining of the Greek mythology story of Persephone and Hades. Persephone has been raised in the mortal realm and is finally allowed to live in the world of the Gods after promising to train as a sacred virgin. Everything changes when her roommate, Artemis, takes her to a party and she meets Hades.
I stumbled upon Lore Olympus one day on WEBTOON comics and absolutely fell in love with it. Volume one collects episodes 1-25 of the WEBTOON comic. One day my husband and I were in Target when I saw the print version and immediately, I had to buy it. Visually it is absolutely stunning, and the story Rachel Smythe creates is such an incredible re-imagining of the Persephone and Hades myth.
