Lore Olympus: Volume Seven
Lore Olympus: Volume Seven | Rachel Smythe
10 posts | 10 read
Scandalous gossip, wild parties, and forbidden love—the Greek tale of Hades and Persephone gets a romantic modern update in the gorgeously illustrated, Eisner Award-winning Lore Olympus, including a brand new bonus short story! “Blood of mine or not, if you proceed with this trial, I hope you are prepared to live with the consequences.” The rifts between realms grow ever wider as the temporary shelter Persephone had found in the Underworld is destroyed. Apollo has captured Demeter, turning the fugitive goddess over to Zeus in an attempt to win the king’s favor. Persephone and her mother must now stand trial for concealing Persephone’s unsanctioned act of wrath—though the goddess of spring feels secure with Hades on her side. But safety is not guaranteed in the world of the gods. As the trial brings to light truths and betrayals that threaten to upset everything—even Hades and Persephone’s relationship—the other gods face perils of their own. Eros uncovers Ampelus’s secret during a fight in the Mortal Realm. Thanatos and Daphne’s budding relationship is threatened by a vengeful Apollo. Minthe is trapped in her cursed form until Persephone gains full control over her powers. And Hera is haunted by the specter of Kronos, whose influence in Olympus seems to be growing . . . This edition of Smythe’s original Eisner Award–winning webcomic Lore Olympus features a brand-new, exclusive short story from creator Rachel Smythe and brings the Greek pantheon into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel. This volume collects episodes 153-179 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus.

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.
