Lore Olympus #3
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeCollecting episodes 50-74 of the Eisner Award-winning webcomic, this third volume continues the modern retelling of the myth of Hades and Persephone. As Persephone navigates her tumultuous relationship with Hades and the fallout from the trial of Minthe, the story deepens its exploration of power dynamics, trauma, and the politics of the Greek gods. Rachel Smythe's lush, color-saturated art and contemporary characterizations remain the series' hallmark.
In "Episode 50: Nark," Eros grapples with the weight of Persephone’s pain and his own grief over Psyche, leading him to lash out in rage. Hermes intervenes, bringing him before Zeus, where Aphrodite steps in with a bold offer—her favor in exchange for mercy. Written and illustrated by Rachel Smythe, this emotionally charged chapter unfolds with the same striking artistry and intimate storytelling that define Lore Olympus, with cover by Rachel Smythe.
