Meanwhile, Persephone, struggling to control her power over nature, experiences both the promises and pitfalls of adulthood now that she’s away from her overbearing mother, while the blue, gentlemanly, pointy-nosed Hades considers leaving a toxic relationship. Shenanigans begin when Hades sees the gigantic-eyed, adorably pink, short, and curvy goddess Persephone attending her first party at Olympus and tells his brothers she “puts Aphrodite to shame.” Aphrodite, who overhears, hatches a plan to embarrass them, but instead, her scheme results in a meet-cute, and Persephone and Hades’ attraction flowers from there. Lore Olympus, originally a webcomic, has become so popular that even retailers like Hot Topic are selling its merchandise nowadays with beautiful artwork and compelling characters taking the forefront of this romantic, tech-savvy retelling of Greek mythology, it’s no wonder why. ![]()
