Comic book art: A couple embracing in Lore Olympus' cover
Lore Olympus, the three-time consecutive Eisner Award-winning comic by Rachel Smythe, is a modernized take on the classic Greek myth of Hades and Persephone. Lore Olymppus takes the myth that is known to be about male dominance over an unwilling female victim and flips it upside down, instead creating a story where Persephone is the agent of change and choice in her own narrative.
Unlike Lore Olympus, the Original Myth Makes Persephone a Victim Hades Lives Up to His Wicked Reputation in the Original Myth In one of the most famous Greek myths, Persephone is the daughter of Demeter - the goddess of agriculture - and the king of the gods, Zeus. While in a field tending to her duties, Persephone is kidnapped by Hades, the king of the Underworld. While Persephone is held hostage in the Underworld, Demeter searches far and wide for her daughter.
As Persephone settles into life in Olympus, she makes friends on her own and eventually decides to venture to the Underworld on her own accord as an intern. In the world of Lore Olympus, the Underworld is run as a company aptly named Underworld Corp. As the king of the Underworld, Hades acts as the head of the corporation, which organizes and employs the souls of the dead, creating a thriving and surprisingly lively city.
