Lore Olympus: Volume Six
Lore Olympus: Volume Six | Rachel Smythe
11 posts | 11 read
Witness what the gods do after dark in the sixth volume of a stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of the best-known stories in Greek mythology, featuring exclusive behind-the-scenes content from creator Rachel Smythe. “We have to make an example of her.” Chaos reigns in Olympus as Zeus publicly declares Persephone a traitor and issues a warrant for her arrest. But Hades defies his brother’s decree, sheltering Persephone in the Underworld—and as the pair spend more time together, they are able to speak openly about their pasts. The goddess of spring admits the truth behind the bloody secret that led to Zeus’s ire, and the king of the Underworld shares the trauma he suffered at the hands of his power-hungry father, Kronos. But as Hades and Persephone’s relationship grows stronger, others begin to fall apart. The bond between Hades and Zeus is stretched to its limit, threatening to fracture the peace between their realms. Persephone and Artemis’s friendship hangs by a thread as the goddess of the hunt slowly uncovers the vile truth about her twin, Apollo. A line is being drawn in the heavens, putting everyone’s loyalties into question as all the gods are forced to choose sides. And as the cracks in the foundation of the pantheon spread, something darker and more earth-shattering might soon be released. . . . 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. This volume collects episodes 127–152 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus.

Well Persephone was not gone for long and her relationship with hades is blossoming. But so is the danger she and all the realms are in.

Library borrow. I have a pretty mixed relationship with these books, but I feel like I'm in it to the end now. #graphicnovel #retelling

Love, love, love, looove! Yes, I've had a weakness for the positive fannon version of a Hades/Persephone story since I first learned about these mythical figures in grade school, but this series is just so much more than I could have imagined. The content warning provided by the author is there for a reason, but there is so much about this book that is thoughtful and tender and sweet. 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 It's about relationships, primarily and considering the characters are the Olympians et al, I'm gleeful whenever a non-toxic take on a possible pairing shows up. The art: how it goes from epic to squee, I just LOVE IT. Had some very important moments plot wise here. Hera coming in in a way I very much appreciated. And Minthe's arc? Yeah, things went from bad to worse but so much of that is her attitude. Girl needed a timeout. 😉 3mo

I love, love, LOVE Lore Olympus. I love the artwork, gods/goddesses behaving badly, interpersonal dynamics, and most of all - Kore/Persephone and Hades. Cue deep, contented sigh. It‘s a soap opera in graphic novel form and I am here for every panel. My only complaint is that it takes me less than 2 hours to read all 400+ pages and now I have to wait 3 months for Volume 7.

Another great installment. My only complaint is I‘m having a hard time keeping similar-looking characters straight. I guess I‘ll have to do a full-series reread at some point while I wait for the next one this fall!

I checked the mail on my way out to pick up kiddo from dance rehearsal, and my preorder arrived! Guess what I‘m reading while I wait. Of course, my bag now has two large books and a water bottle in it, so it weighs a ton.
