About this deal

Psyche: I liked her but I'm so scared for her and Eros's story and I know they got their happy ending but the way they got it was just 😭 and I'm not ready for it... Volume one only covers episodes 1-25 (out of, 191 episodes that exist on webtoon, as of now), this review is ONLY FOR EPISODES 1-25 The main characters, Persephone and Hades, don’t have much depth to them, but their relationship is pretty adorable. The instant obsession and relentless pining from Hades’s side is always gratifying, and one of the reasons I love retellings of this myth so much. I don't understand how that happened because I read a lot of comics and graphic novels and I'd never even heard of this until the nomination.

I do want to point out that the drawings for all the female characters are overly and unnecessarily sexualized, which truly annoyed me and even made me a little uncomfortable. Persephone is a huge ball of sunshine, even when everything around her is falling apart, she manages to get through the day with a smile on her face. That brings us to the Apollo issue at hand, he's 24/7 on jerk duty for real! Persephone darling, we love you but you can't just let random men walk all over you and take advantage of your kind heart. It was sad to see her struggling to deal with the whole situation and feeling like she couldn't confide in anyone. Where is protective Demeter when we need her?! Her daughter is having a hard time fitting in Olympus all alone and she is doing what? Artemis and Persephone talk about the situation and Artemis is really upset that Persephone thinks Hades is kinda handsome. Eros shows up when he senses an admission of a crush.Scandalous gossip, wild parties, and forbidden love - witness what the gods do after dark in this stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of mythology's best-known stories.

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. All of Olympus— and the Underworld—are talking about the God of the Dead and the sprightly daughter of Demeter. But despite the rumors of their romance, Hades and Persephone have plenty to navigate on their own.Does Hades even need any explanation? I don't see how he can get any more perfect. One second he's all shy and weak on the knees for Persephone, and the next second he's a damn smooth flirt. He's charming, compassionate and the ultimate immortal simp, come change my mind. He swears that he'd stay away, yet one look at the girl brings his principles crumbling down. He literally said, 'I'm sorry for walking too fast'; he's so cute for what? Minthe is such an idiot for playing around with his precious feelings.

But of course, they can't be together because Persephone is supposed to be a candidate for the goddesses of eternal maidenhood. Witness what the gods do after dark in the second volume of a stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of the best-known stories in Greek mythology from creator Rachel Smythe. This edition of Rachel Smythe's original Eisner-winning webcomic Lore Olympus features exclusive behind-the-scenes content and brings the Greek pantheon into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel. This is one of the GoodReads choice award winners where I was like, "YESS, THIS IS THE ONE THAT SHOULDA WON" Aphrodite goes to collect Eros from the waiting room. She has to speak to Zeus because Eros killed thirty mortals without permission. Aphrodite seduces Zeus so he won’t punish her son.A form of media where Zeus is portrayed as a piece of shit and the scum of scums that he really is? Win. 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 Volume One collects episodes 1-25 of the WEBTOON comic. Volume Two collects episodes 26-49. Volume Three collects episodes 50-75. Volume Four collects episodes 76 -102. Volume Five collects episodes 103-126. Volume Six collects episodes 127-152. It's easy to see why the internet has fallen in love with Lore Olympus. This dazzling interpretation of the classic Greek myths is as charming as it is provocative.' Marissa Meyer, No1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles Minthe: I hate her that's all and I know she's going to behave like a bitch in the upcoming storyline 😠
