Got anything you wanna recommend? Please share! I am always looking for new things to read.On March 4th, 2018, Rachel Smythe launched Lore Olympus, a romantic retelling of the Greek myth of Hades and Persephone set in modern times, on Webtoon (panel examples shown below). If you’re looking for a different take on the Gods of Olympus or Hades and Persephone in general I highly recommend this series. Totally doesn’t help that the first one I saw was Persephone and Cerberus. Y’all I’ve got a couple of enamel pins on my pin board of this series because I adore it so much. I’ve been obsessed with this comic for some time but after I switched phones a few years ago I lost my place where I was reading and have decided to catch up via the physical books that are now out and I recently bought volume 1 and got to read it. Rachel does an AMAZING job of telling the story and her artwork is absolutely gorgeous. There’s a webcomic called Lore Olympus by Rachel Smythe that was made into a full on book. Yes, I’ve started playing the game on my Switch, but that’s another story entirely. The book, like LO, is a modern retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth and overall was a really fun read I think it’s complementary to LO and features some of our favorite characters like Hecate and Hermes. I may have a tiiiiiny obsession with Hades and Persephone. Back to some normal recommendations and things.
