pickThe story of Hades and Persephone is one of my favorite myths, so I had to read this too. I love the artwork in this one. And the way George O‘Connor reimagines their story. I would recommend these graphic novels to anyone who enjoys mythology. They seem good for any age. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

pickBook 2 finished for #DeweysReadathon #Deweys24HrReadathon #DeweyOct @DeweysReadathon
Another retelling of the myth of Hades kidnapping Persephone. This one was slightly more in keeping with the traditional story.
Loved the art!
pickA good book about Hades and Persephone and how the underworld works ruled by them.
+6 for #TeamStoker
@TheReadingMermaid - sorry for so many tags, I had a lot of comic books about mythology and anxiety kept me up all night so I read
pickI am loving this series! The titles are misleading, as they‘re not solely about the titular god but the body of myths surrounding them. This volume focuses on the kidnapping of Kore/emergence of Persephone and Demeter gets as much space as Hades does, but it‘s good. And Persephone actually has some agency - what a change!
Yaaaaaaaas! Hello @ReadingRover I got my #SFMBC parcel today! I didnt put your book pick in the picture cuz I don't wanna ruin it for the next person.
Thanks so much for the extra goodies! It was a definite treat for the start of a new work week! 👍❤️👍

pick4⭐️I really like this spin on the tale of Hades and Persephone. In this one, Persephone actually has a part in the story and- wait for it- she‘s kinda badass. She has a slight dark side, and she wants to be there with Hades! Read it! 🌑🍎😈 I love the discussion questions and extra fun notes in the back- I‘m thinking maybe a fun bookclub next year??
pickThis is the first translation of the Homeric Hymns (don‘t let the title deceive you - the author of this is unknown) that I‘ve read. Some #hymns had me giggling and some had me astounded by their beauty. I chose this particular passage because of its reference to #Hekate, the deity with whom I am most connected. The notes are not mine - I never write in or dog-ear books. #poetry #greekmythology #usedbooks #hecate #persephone #demeter #zeus #hades
