The main characters, Persephone and Hades, don’t have much depth to them, but their relationship is pretty adorable. The instant obsession and relentless pining from Hades’s side is always gratifying, and one of the reasons I love retellings of this myth so much.

This is one of the GoodReads choice award winners where I was like, "YESS, THIS IS THE ONE THAT SHOULDA WON" Zeus is the King of the gods and Hades' and Poseidon's youngest brother, depicted as a muscular purple businessman with long straight hair. Zeus is an adulterer [3] who shows constant promiscuous behavior. He is stubborn, selfish, narcissistic, egotistical, a conpulsive liar, and a bully. He is shown to overreact when things don't go his way; for example, he burned down Demeter's crops after she refused to continue hiding his lovers from Hera. However, despite his negative qualities, he still deeply cares for and loves his wife and both of his brothers. Zeus is a member of the Six Traitors Dynasty and the only one without a scar on his body.I started this last year but couldn't read more than 5 episodes and thanks to Lila (you're the best🥹🫶) whose review made me try this again and Lila guess what? I'm obsessed!!! The Beat declared Lore Olympus to be one of the 100 best comics of the 2010s, describing Smythe's art as "breathtaking" and making good use of the webtoon format, and saying that the modern setting made the story "feel as fresh and urgent as eavesdropping on your (very wealthy, very messy) neighbors." [11] This edition of Smythe’s original Eisner-winning webcomic Lore Olympus bringsGreek mythologyinto the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel. Hypnos is the god of sleep. He is Thanatos' twin brother, father to Morpheus, and son of Nyx. He is presented as a nude grey man with blue eyes and wings, similar to Thanatos' look. Experience the propulsive love story of two Greek gods—Hades and Persephone—brought to life with lavish artwork and an irresistible contemporary voice.

Asclepius is a demigod and son of Apollo. He is the god of medicine and works as a physician. Asclepius is presented as a light purple, bald man. He is known to confide others private matters to his father, most likely as a result of Apollo forcing him to do so; for example, telling Apollo about Hades' sterility.

As my friend Al suggested, the art is very reminiscent of Kyle Baker with maybe a little Babs Tarr thrown in. It's fine but pretty basic art. For current retellings of Hades and Persephone, I much prefer what Linda Sejic

Psyche: I liked her but I'm so scared for her and Eros's story and I know they got their happy ending but the way they got it was just 😭 and I'm not ready for it... a b Adams, Tim (January 20, 2020). "Webtoon Announces Over 100 Billion Views in 2019, Lore Olympus Ranks #1". Comic Book Resources . Retrieved August 20, 2020. Una de las cosas que más me ha gustado ha sido el guion, los diálogos están súper bien y hacen que la lectura sea dinámica. La autora no se corta en ser grosera o utilizar palabrotas, algo que es refrescante. También me ha gustado mucho la escena de ab*so s*xual, jugando con las metáforas. Creo que es lo mejor de todo este primer volumen.Yes, there is a rape scene towards the end, but this is after all based on Greek mythology, and this at least is handled with care - in the original stories rape happens regularly and it is accepted as totally normal (Zeus specifically seemingly doesn't know impregnation can also involve consent). Although in March 2021, it was claimed that the series would be the "first animated series based on a Webtoon comic", [36] other Webtoons, such as Tower of God and The God of High School, have already received anime adaptations. In December 2021, Webtoon stated, in a press release, that the animated series was "currently in development". [37] The same was repeated in press releases from Webtoon in July 2022 [38] and October 2022.
