Summary

Scandalous gossip， wild parties， and forbidden love - witness what the gods do after dark in this stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of mythology's best-known stories。

'Steamy， often laugh-out-loud funny and emotional' Jennifer L。 Armentrout， # 1 New York Times bestselling author of From Blood and Ash
 ____________________________________
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。

Persephone ，

I had the opportunity to read an ARC， and after already being a fan of the webtoon， I can say it did not disappoint！ The art is gorgeous， I love the character design， and the storytelling and recreation of gods and goddesses we already know and love was magnificent！ So excited to read it in full color when it is released！ If you are a fan of Greek mythology， sequential art， and/or character design， this is a MUST read 💗💗💗

Salina ，

I am OBSESSED with Lore Olympus！ I've read a lot of Webtoons， but this is by far my favorite from the art to the characters to the plot to EVERYTHING！ I have Volume One on preorder and it comes out the day before my birthday so I'm super excited。 I hope to collect all the volumes as they get printed！ I am OBSESSED with Lore Olympus！ I've read a lot of Webtoons， but this is by far my favorite from the art to the characters to the plot to EVERYTHING！ I have Volume One on preorder and it comes out the day before my birthday so I'm super excited。 I hope to collect all the volumes as they get printed！ 。。。more

I've read all of this so far on Webtoon and been absolutely in love with it for so long。 It's so good。 I can't recommend it enough。 Now Netflix need to pick it up （maybe the guys who did She-Ra）。The art is so delicious you feel like you could fall into the page and every single one of the characters are so well done。 Even tiny side characters have such a spark of depth and personality about them 😍😍😍 I've read all of this so far on Webtoon and been absolutely in love with it for so long。 It's so good。 I can't recommend it enough。 Now Netflix need to pick it up （maybe the guys who did She-Ra）。The art is so delicious you feel like you could fall into the page and every single one of the characters are so well done。 Even tiny side characters have such a spark of depth and personality about them 😍😍😍 。。。more

I am obsessed with Lore Olympus。 I binged the 100+ postings on Webtoon， became a Patreon supporter of Rachel Smythe， and I stop whatever I am doing when a new episode drops。 This is NOT a true representation of the Greek myths that inspired it， but a smart， funny， and sometimes heartbreaking reimagining。 It's body and sex positive and rethinks the problematic themes of Greek mythology （rapey。。。Soooo rapey） in a way that will speak to so many modern women。 I'd give it 6 stars if I could！ I am obsessed with Lore Olympus。 I binged the 100+ postings on Webtoon， became a Patreon supporter of Rachel Smythe， and I stop whatever I am doing when a new episode drops。 This is NOT a true representation of the Greek myths that inspired it， but a smart， funny， and sometimes heartbreaking reimagining。 It's body and sex positive and rethinks the problematic themes of Greek mythology （rapey。。。Soooo rapey） in a way that will speak to so many modern women。 I'd give it 6 stars if I could！ 。。。more

This one means a lot to me。

Kirstin Swartz ，

I am immensely excited and proud of Rachel Smythe from having this story go from a Webtoon comic to an actual printed series！ Lore Olympus is one of the BEST and most colorful Greek mythology retellings out there， centering around the story of Persephone and Hades。 Smythe has the unique talent of portraying emotions through her watercolor artwork， bringing laughter and tears with the turn of the dime。 It’s romantic， hopeful， heartbreaking， and wonderful。 Just read it please！

Wow， this truly was something。 Now I know what the hype is all about

Shana de Snoo ，

I found this series on Webtoon a few months ago and have been reading it obsessively ever since。The characters are in-depth， varied and some truly subvert what I expected which is amazing。The drawing is stunning and always filled with interesting colours， there is lots of symbolism in the images and colours used。 The author also makes good use of the style of medium in Webtoon， working with the white spaces to great effect。 The plotline is fantastic and I truly want to know what is happening。I h I found this series on Webtoon a few months ago and have been reading it obsessively ever since。The characters are in-depth， varied and some truly subvert what I expected which is amazing。The drawing is stunning and always filled with interesting colours， there is lots of symbolism in the images and colours used。 The author also makes good use of the style of medium in Webtoon， working with the white spaces to great effect。 The plotline is fantastic and I truly want to know what is happening。I haven't marked Volume 2 as being read yet， as it's not completely released。 I want wait to see what happens。 。。。more

Xittlali Otamendi ，

This is one of my favorite graphic novels。 It has such outstanding art and great characteristics。 I enjoyed almost every chapter in this book。 It gives a good example of how life can be for anyone。 The lessons and examples the author gives their reader。 I love how each color of the art represents their character， they outstand on every page。 When I first started reading the webtoon， I was so intrigued by the comic， so I wanted to buy this volume。 I love it！

I stumbled upon this through an ad and really enjoyed it！ The illustrations are beautiful and the story is so intriguing。 I finished the first season in about two sittings。

I was told about this series a few days ago on one of my fave book blogs。 After downloading webtoons app I read the entire thing in 2 days- all 159 （up to now） chapters and I immediately ordered the hardback。 The story itself is a great interweaving of myths all supporting the general Hades and Persephone one， but it's the artwork and the sheer brilliance packed into each picture that truly makes this such a delight。The way you can tell from just one picture how people are feeling and what they I was told about this series a few days ago on one of my fave book blogs。 After downloading webtoons app I read the entire thing in 2 days- all 159 （up to now） chapters and I immediately ordered the hardback。 The story itself is a great interweaving of myths all supporting the general Hades and Persephone one， but it's the artwork and the sheer brilliance packed into each picture that truly makes this such a delight。The way you can tell from just one picture how people are feeling and what they think about the action- It's true that a picture paints a thousand words and this book is a veritable library of content。 。。。more
