____________________________________
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-nominated webcomic Lore Olympus features a brand-new, exclusive short story, and brings the Greek pantheon 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.

Lore Olympus
By Rachel Smythe
Review by Isabelle
This series reimagines the Greek gods with the glitz and glamor of the present day, mixing magic with smartphones. It follows the story of older man Hades and college student Persephone, but the other gods are never far away - gossiping and helping and causing trouble. It’s fun, it's compulsive, it has a plot that is both dramatic and easy to follow and makes it all too easy to turn that next page. Definitely pick this up if you want an addictive new series to fall in love with.
For fans of Lore and The Princess and the Grilled Cheese Sandwich.
Warning: first volume contains one depiction of SA and mature themes.
