Lore Olympus: Volume Three By Rachel Smythe

The third volume of Lore Olympus, a contemporary reimagining of the Hades and Persephone myth, continues the story of the God of the Dead and Demeter's daughter as they navigate their complex relationship amidst the scrutiny of Olympus and the Underworld. Persephone struggles to meet the gods’ expectations as a perfect maiden goddess, while her attraction to Hades only heightens the pressure. Following Apollo's assault, she is overwhelmed by conflicting emotions of love and hurt that threaten to consume her.

Meanwhile, Hades grapples with his own demons, slipping into old habits and finding solace in Minthe’s embrace. The mounting pressures from family, friends, and enemies make it difficult for both Hades and Persephone to admit their true feelings. Despite their best efforts to deny the magnetic pull between them, their connection seems inevitable—an unstoppable force of fate that draws them closer together.

With a modern twist, Rachel Smythe breathes new life into Greek mythology, presenting a poignant and emotionally charged narrative filled with humor, steamy romance, and personal growth. This volume captures the highs and lows of Hades and Persephone’s relationship as they face challenges both internal and external, set against the backdrop of a stylish and modern Olympus.

Collecting episodes 50-75 of the Eisner-winning webcomic, Lore Olympus continues to captivate fans with its sharp storytelling and lush artwork, offering a refreshingly modern take on one of mythology’s most famous love stories. 📚❤️
