Lore Olympus #4
In "Episode 76: Splitting," Rachel Smythe delivers another emotionally charged chapter of Lore Olympus, with her signature art and storytelling on full display. As Hades finishes restoring the paparazzo’s eye, Persephone is caught in an unexpected surge of nature, setting the stage for a pivotal moment in her relationship with Hades—whose attempts to express himself are met with quiet skepticism from Hestia, until a clever diversion saves the day. The cover, also by Smythe, captures the tension with her distinctive, expressive style.

Hades completes restoration of the paparazzo's eye, but Persephone is suddenly surrounded by an uncontrollable bloom of nature. She lays out guidelines for their relationship, to which he agrees while berating himself for not expressing the depth of his feelings. When he tries to resume the conversation he is stymied by a suspicious and disapproving Hestia. He salvages the situation by saying that Persephone has convinced him to make a large donation to Hestia's charities.
