Rachel Smythe does it again in her marvelous modern retelling of the love story between Persphone and Hades in the #1 Webtoon Phenomenon, Lore Olympus Volume 2! The graphic novel takes off right where it started, with new problems emerging. Persephone now has to deal with Minthe, Apollo, and the new scandalous gossip that is slowly spreading everywhere. A news reporter has taken a photo that could destroy Persophone’s reputation and hurt her scholarship with The Goddesses of Eternal Maidenhood. Hades also has to deal with his newfound feelings for Persphone. He recently learned about the huge age gap between the two, and doesn’t know what to do. Meanwhile, Hera decided that she should test Hades to see whether or not he would treat Persephone well. Hades now is trying his best to push down his feelings for this young goddess, while meeting her almost everyday! When Hades learns about the scandalous gossip that surrounds him and Persphone, he feels that it was his job to punish the news reporter who started all of this. Through the beautiful storytelling, to the amazing eye-catching art, readers could get hooked into the world of Greek Mythology just as they did with the first volume.
About This Book
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.
Persephone was ready to start a new life when she left the mortal realm for Olympus. However, she quickly discovered the dark side of her glamorous new home—from the relatively minor gossip threatening her reputation to a realm-shattering violation of her safety by the conceited Apollo—and she’s struggling to find her footing in the fast-moving realm of the gods. Hades is also off-balance, fighting against his burgeoning feelings for the young goddess of spring while maintaining his lonely rule of the Underworld. As the pair are drawn ever closer, they must untangle the twisted webs of their past and present to build toward a new future.
This full-color edition of Smythe’s original Eisner-nominated webcomic Lore Olympus features a brand-new, exclusive short story, and brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel.
