The popular webcomic Legends of Olympus, a two-time Eisner Award winner, is a modern, romantic, and honest take on one of the most famous stories in Greek mythology.
Bold gossip, lavish parties, and forbidden love... what else do you think the gods do when the sun goes down?
There, on Olympus, so attractive and glamorous, the gods fall in love, make friends, start families, quarrel, lie, break up, and make mistakes, and also cook dinner in a slow cooker, look for a first aid kit, text each other... It turns out they are not so different from us humans, especially when they are trying to figure out relationships and their own feelings.
Persephone is a young goddess of spring, raised among mortals, on Olympus for the first time. She is completely helpless in the face of the dangers that the divine world hides. The girl rushes towards nightlife and passion, but the world of gods is far from bookish romance...
Now Persephone will have to learn to live again and at the same time realize her significance and her own strength. And this is not easy, especially if you are crazy about Hades, the ruler of the underworld.
- A talented interweaving of classical history with modern conflicts and timeless themes.
- God-characters similar to people who make the same mistakes.
- A non-linear plot with flashbacks emphasizing the formation of the hero's character.
- The comic raises important topics: experiencing trauma, attitudes towards women, romanticization of unacceptable behavior.
- A carefully selected color scheme that emphasizes the personality of the character, his inner world and the degree of emotions, stylish graphics and expressive details.
