'This is a refreshingly modern and surprisingly poignant take on the Hades and Persephone myth. Prepare to be swept away!' -Marissa Meyer, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lunar Chronicles This dazzling interpretation of the classic Greek myths is as charming as it is provocative, and as witty as it is startlingly romantic.

This edition of Smythe's original Eisner-winning webcomic Lore Olympus brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel. Now Persephone must navigate the confusing politics and relationships that rule Olympus, while also figuring out her own place-and her own power. 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. 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. Persephone, young goddess of spring, is new to Olympus.
