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! “The Underworld has a queen!” Persephone and
Hades are finally reunited when the banished goddess of spring returns to the Underworld to
claim her rightful place as queen. Now that Hades and Persephone have defeated and imprisoned
the power-hungry Kronos once more nothing can keep them apart and years of being separated
have only made their desire for each other grow. But the other Olympians can’t help but meddle
pushing the pair to make things official with a coronation—and a wedding. Ignoring the others
who try to define their relationship Hades and Persephone choose to take things at their own
pace and focus on rebuilding the Underworld. They begin by investigating how Kronos was first
able to escape and they learn the horrifying truth that he has captured a powerful young god
whose abilities help Kronos project his thoughts outside of Tartarus—thoughts he uses to plague
Hera’s every waking moment. Though Kronos’s physical form is locked away Olympus will never be
free until they can rescue the child from the furious Titan’s grasp. To save the realms
Persephone must figure out her fertility goddess powers and embrace her role as Queen of the
Underworld—even as it takes her further from her mother’s expectations and her former place in
the Mortal Realm. 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 207–233 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus .
