 Review 
“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, and as witty as it is startlingly romantic. Prepare to be swept away!” 
—Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles\n“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, #1 New York Times bestselling author of From Blood and Ash\n“With vivid, irresistible art and storytelling that would make even the Muses swoon, this modern myth deftly tackles the darkness of the ancient stories while never losing its brilliant light. I couldn’t devour it fast enough.” 
—Alexandra Bracken, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Lore\n“Sheer bliss. Rachel Smythe is a master storyteller, filling each gorgeously illustrated page with equal parts humor, heart, and joy.” 
—Meg Cabot, author of The Princess Diaries and Abandon series\n“ 
Lore Olympus is a visual feast! It’s sexy and clever, taking ancient Greek myths and spinning them to be relevant today. I could not put this graphic novel down and cannot wait to see more of Persephone and Hades—and the rest of the 
Lore Olympus pantheon.” 
—P. C. Cast, New York Times bestselling author of Spells Trouble and the House of Night series\n“An inspired, sweet, and thoroughly modern reimagining of Hades and Persephone’s tale. Its cast is memorable, and its central relationship absorbing and spellbinding.” 
—Aliette de Bodard, award-winning author of Fireheart Tiger\n“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\n“A sweepingly romantic story that offers new meaning with each and every rereading, Rachel Smythe’s

Witness what the gods do after dark in&nbsp;the third volume of a&nbsp;stylish and contemporary reimagining of&nbsp;one of the best-known stories in&nbsp;Greek mythology, featuring a brand-new, exclusive short story from creator Rachel Smythe. "A refreshingly modern and surprisingly poignant take on the Hades and Persephone myth . . . steamy, often laugh-out-loud funny, and emotional."--Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times bestselling author of From Blood and Ash &nbsp; "It is natural for a King to be curious about his future Queen. . . ." 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. Since coming to Olympus, Persephone has struggled to be the perfect maiden goddess. Her attraction to Hades has only complicated the intense burden of the gods' expectations. And after Apollo's assault, Persephone fears she can no longer bury the intense feelings of hurt and love that she's worked so hard to hide. &nbsp; As Persephone contemplates her future, Hades struggles with his past, falling back into toxic habits in Minthe's easy embrace. With all the mounting pressure and expectations--of their family, friends, and enemies--both Hades and Persephone tell themselves to deny their deepest desires, but the pull between them is too tempting, too magnetic. It's fate. &nbsp; 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 50-75 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus.

Lore Olympus: Volume Four

Witness what the gods do after dark in&nbsp;the fourth volume of a&nbsp;stylish and contemporary reimagining of&nbsp;one of the best-known stories in&nbsp;Greek mythology, featuring a brand-new, exclusive short story from creator Rachel Smythe. &nbsp; "I don't always get to do as I please." &nbsp; The rumor mill of Olympus is constantly churning, but Persephone and Hades are all anyone can talk about. With the constant gossip creating intense pressure on the pair, they decide to slow down their budding romance and focus on sorting out their own issues first. &nbsp; But that's easier said than done.&nbsp; &nbsp; Hades struggles to find support in his personal life, with Zeus trivializing his feelings and Minthe resorting to abusive patterns in their relationship. And while Hades tries to create healthier boundaries where he can--like finally putting a stop to his sporadic, revenge-fueled hookups with Hera--he still feels lonely and adrift. &nbsp; Persephone feels equally ostracized as her classmates shun her for her connection to Hades, and she can find no refuge at home, with Apollo constantly dropping by unannounced and pushing his unwelcome advances. And on top of it all, the wrathful god of war, Ares, has returned to Olympus to dredge up his sordid history with the goddess of spring, threatening to surface Persephone's dark and mysterious past and ruin her tenuous position in the land of the gods.&nbsp; &nbsp; Despite agreeing to take it slow, Persephone and Hades find themselves inextricably drawn toward each other once more amid the chaos. The pull of fate cannot be denied. &nbsp; 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. &nbsp; This volume collects episodes 76-102 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus.

But that doesn't necessarily make things easier for the goddess of spring, who is still in over her head in gossip-driven Olympus. Persephone feels intense guilt over the official breakup between Hades and Minthe, she is struggling to find her footing in her fast-paced job, and--worst of all--the shades of her past are slowly coming to light. &nbsp; After an unexpected encounter with Apollo, Persephone flees into the depths of the Underworld. Concerned for her safety and determined to find her, Hades must team up with Artemis, Eros, and Hera, but they're working against a ticking clock. Zeus knows about the bloody secret in Persephone's past, and now the furious king of the gods will stop at nothing to bring her to justice. &nbsp; This edition of Smythe's original Eisner Award-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. &nbsp; This volume collects episodes 103-126 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus.
