comment
A drama webcomic by Rachel Smythe retelling the story of The Taking of Persephone with a modern skin. After Hades casually states that Persephone rivals Aphrodite in beauty when he spots her at a party, the goddess's jealousy leads to her placing the sleeping Persephone in Hades' car. What follows is Persephone's journey of self-discovery, Hades finding an equal to rule by his side, and the two slowly falling deeper in love. The comic is still ongoing. It can be read here.With more than 6.5 million followers and 1.7 billion views, Lore Olympus is currently the most popular comic hosted on Webtoon. It has also won three Harvey Awards, two Eisner Awards and two Ringo Awards. In October 2019, the Jim Henson Company announced plans to adapt Lore Olympus into an animated series aimed at young adults.The comic is currently set to release its final chapter on May 11, 2024 (for fast passers; the free-to-read version will release three weeks later).

A Form You Are Comfortable With: Hades and other gods usually wear 21st-century-esque clothing but change into the ancient chitons and peplos when they go to Earth or interact with mortals.

Likes Older Men: While it seems her preference for Hades is mostly a circumstantial thing, the fact remains that Persephone has fallen in love with someone old enough to marry her mother.

Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Eros is frequently embarrassed by both of his parents, especially when they're all under the same roof and he has to put up with Ares and Aphrodite's kinky sexual shenanigans on top of their general immaturity.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Lore Olympus (Webcomic) / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Persephone recalls her mother suddenly becoming protective of her growing up, making her cover up more, making her always have a chaperone, trying to keep her away from the godly realms, etc. While the ostensible reason is so that Persephone wouldn't be married off or be exploited for her fertility powers, Demeter's actions are reminiscent of a mother worried that her budding young daughter is being leered at by perverts.

Adaptational Villainy
 Lore Olympus (Webcomic) / int_20f689e9
comment
Adaptational Villainy: While in the original myth Minthe was just a fling of Hades, here she's a catty Alpha Bitch who regularly demeans Hades and treats him like a walking wallet. She does get slightly better about this after realizing that her awful behavior might drive him away but she still has no love for Persephone. Apollo in the myths is certainly no hero, but has redeeming qualities, particularly in his love for his mother, his friend Admetus, and various lovers. In this story, however, he has next to no redeeming qualities whatsoever and rapes Persephone, which the narrative presents as one of the worst crimes imaginable. In the myths, Thetis was a loyal and kind nymph who saved Zeus from a coup and fostered Hephaestus after his mother rejected him. Here, she's a shameless, amoral homewrecker who also conspired to ruin Minthe's relationship with Hades out of jealous spite. Psyche's parents are physically abusive to her and tried to force her into a marriage with a cruel man for their own benefit. Surprisingly, Hestia has gotten some of this treatment, from what little has been seen of her. While in mythology, she's the quintessential Olympian Nice Girl, her depiction in Lore Olympus comes across as more than a little Holier Than Thou. She slut-shames Persephone for being photographed with Hades by a tabloid, and takes the fur coat Hades gave to Persephone apparently as a bribe (possibly upon a threat of revoking Persephone's scholarship or reporting the incident to Demeter).

Adaptation Deviation
 Lore Olympus (Webcomic) / int_23a1e2a9
comment
Adaptation Deviation: The original myth was about Hades kidnapping Persephone to be his wife with the permission of Zeus and her enraged mother Demeter creating drought and famine on Earth until Hades agreed to allow her daughter to return her for six months out of every year. In the comic Hades and Persephone's relationship is completely consensual and Zeus, fearing that her powers as a fertility goddess may threaten his rule, has her banished to Earth indefinitely in order to keep her from marrying anyone. In response, an infuriated Hades holds back resources from Olympus and creates extensive scarcity throughout the home of the gods until Persephone is allowed to reunite with him. Later on, the mortal realm is struck by famine but it's not caused by Demeter. Instead, it's an unintended consequence of Persephone becoming Queen of the Underworld. Rachel Smythe has admitted to enjoying dropping references to The Trojan Cycle in the comic but stated she has no intention of including the Trojan War in the story in any meaningful way. This is why Odysseus is already a god at the start of the story even though Achilles has yet to be born and Cassandra is still working as a priestess.

Mythology Gag
 Lore Olympus (Webcomic) / int_26ac510e
comment
Mythology Gag: The list of Hera's possible suitors besides Hades for Persephone were all her suitors in the mythos who gave her gifts. Some of their relations in the series seem to correspond to this as well. In the myths Ares gave her a spear and cuirass, in the series Ares was Persephone's first kiss and is willing to kill anyone who hurts her feelings. In the myths Hermes gave her his rod, in the series he's on close terms with her, has seen her naked with her consent, and is very protective of her. In the myths Apollo gave her his lyre, in the series she steals it from him after he rapes her.

Covered with Scars
 Lore Olympus (Webcomic) / int_27a036db
comment
Covered with Scars: When Hades is shown shirtless, his body is seamed with scars. Eventually, it's shown how he got them: His father Kronos bit pieces out of him when Zeus and Poseidon rescued Hades from Kronos's stomach. Athena and Hera have also been shown with multiple scars; Hera's, being mostly across her waist, are usually hidden by her outfit. The comic suggests that this was caused by her being pulled in half if her words of “torn asunder� wasn’t an exaggeration. Demeter for her part seems to have a large claw swipe across her entire back she doesn't seem to make any effort to hide. Ares is another Olympian who sports a collection of scars. He tends to have some recent injuries showing as well, leaving little question that his scars come from his actions in his role as a god of battle.

When Apollo starts accusing Persephone, Eros, all-around cheerful and campy guy, immediately starts peppering him with arrows and, when he still doesn't get the hint, vows to utterly ruin whatever chance at love he might ever have if he doesn't back off. If Greek mythology is anything to go with, he is not bluffing.

Older Than They Look: Hades and all the other gods from the Titanomachy still look the same as they did thousands of years ago. Aphrodite looks and acts like she's the same age as her son Eros. Apollo (and by extension his twin, Artemis) is old enough to have an adult son. And while Eros and Hermes look like they're in the same age group as Persephone, they could easily be hundreds, if not thousands of years older.

comment
Shipper on Deck: Eros is very encouraging of Persephone's budding feelings for Hades. Zeus and Poseidon are happy to encourage Hades in pursuing his interest in Persephone. Their "help" is rarely all that helpful, but Zeus does point out to a disapproving Hera how rare it is for Hades to take such an interest in someone. This prompts Hera to reconsider her objections and meddle a little on Hades' behalf herself by assigning Persephone to an Underworld internship. Hecate, who initially is very disapproving of what she thinks is a selfish fling, becomes supportive once she realizes Hades' feelings are genuine.

Unequal Pairing
 Lore Olympus (Webcomic) / int_328b32
comment
Unequal Pairing: Between Hades and Minthe and between Hades and Persephone, as he is their employer, there’s a massive power imbalance in their romantic relationships. Persephone appears to receive preferential treatment by receiving a salary although she's technically an "unpaid" intern, and Minthe’s career is affected by her personal (not work) relationship with Hades. The fact that Hades is an Olympian god and Minthe a lowly river nymph is a source of her crushing insecurities.

Shotgun Wedding: Discussed in Episode 244, when Ares enters Persephone and Hades' house where he discovers the newborn Dionysus in their care, he assumes that the couple already have a biological child. Ares then asks if it was a shotgun wedding instead, implying that he thought the alternate was that Peresphone was knocked up prior to the marriage. However, Dionysus is actually his half-brother that their father, Zeus, sired from Semele.

Everyone Hates Hades: A major conceit of the comic is to defy this, as it portrays Hades as a dark, lonely, and brooding man who is in actuality an awkward Nice Guy who is self-aware enough to realize how uncomfortable his feelings for Persephone are. A telling example of this is while Zeus and Poseidon were banned from a strip club for sexual harassment (Zeus) and property damage (Poseidon), Hades was banned because he convinced the club's best dancer to quit and take a job at Underworld Corp.

Foregone Conclusion: Any audience familiar with Greek Mythology will know that Hades and Persephone end up married at the end of their myth. In-universe, one story where Hades visits the Fates shows that Persephone will eventually be Hades' queen. Thetis's scheme to get Zeus to leave Hera for her is destined to fail.

comment
Unrelated in the Adaptation: The comic's creator confirmed on her (now deactivated Tumblr account) and on the comic's official FAQ page that she will be avoiding the incest present in some of the original myths. Consequently, none of the couples in the webcomic are blood relatives, regardless of their familial connections in the original myths. This means that while Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon are brothers as per classical mythology, Zeus and Hera are not siblings and Zeus is not Persephone's father (so Hades is not her uncle).

Adaptational Heroism
 Lore Olympus (Webcomic) / int_3f45f1e6
comment
Adaptational Heroism: While versions of the original myth vary in how willing Persephone was and how much say she had in whether or not she would stay in the Underworld, they mostly agree on the point that Hades purposefully carried her off to be his wife. In this version the "abduction" is completely accidental, brought about by the machinations of Aphrodite, and Hades remains reluctant to pursue any kind of relationship with Persephone for quite a while after due to the difference in their ages (Persephone is 19 and Hades is 2000+) and his feeling that she can do better. In the Eros and Psyche myth, Aphrodite was very much the awful mother-in-law, sending Psyche on a mission that might well have caused her death. In this comic, she quickly regrets what she ordered her son to do, and when Eros abandons Psyche she takes the girl in and protects her while teaching Eros a lesson about trust. Likewise, Eros in the original myth basically tricked her parents into giving Psyche to him and her consent in their initial sexual encounter is rather shady. Here, he rescues her from an abusive family, teaches her to read and write, and doesn't touch her without her permission.

Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: At first, Apollo appears to be a jerk who only becomes close to Persephone to sleep with her, until he reveals a more sensitive, caring side with her, healing her cut finger and displaying a level of concern with how nonchalant she was about the Underworld. And then he coerces her into sex, photographs her naked body without her permission, and repeatedly ignores her lack of consent to force himself on her. At the end of the strip, he leaves her confused and feeling violated, without a hint of remorse.

Snipe Hunt: When Persephone arrives at Underworld Corp for the internship assigned to her by Hera, Minthe recognizes her from the tabloid article. Rather than let her into Hades' office, Minthe lies that he's out on his rounds and sends Persephone off to look for him elsewhere in the building complex.

Another surprising inversion regarding Eros is that when he murders more than 300 people in a bout of heartbreak, he gets chewed upon not because what he did was a horrific act of mass murder, but because he didn't file the appropriate paperwork beforehand.

comment
The Empath: Hera, in her auspices as the goddess of women, marriage, and family. She senses Persephone's suffering after the encounter with Apollo, though she's not aware of who it's coming from; later, shaking hands with Persephone is enough for Hera to sense Persephone's feelings of trauma and violation with such immediacy that Hera mentally checks out for a few seconds.

Dark Is Not Evil: While the Underworld is a place to house the land of the dead, it's by all accounts a nice, if dark, place. Hades rules over it, and he has adopted seven dogs, treats his workers fairly, and takes care of Persephone when he finds her in his car. And between his brothers Zeus and Poseidon, he appears favorably.

The Four Loves: Eros is shown to have several younger siblings who don't exist in Classical Mythology, derived from the concepts of storge (familial love), philia (friendship), and agape (unconditional, self-sacrificing love) as well as several others sharing the same theme of different types of love.

Green Thumb: As is to be expected of goddesses of the seasons, agriculture, and plant life, both Demeter and Persephone can control the growth of plants, sometimes involuntarily in the latter's case. Special mention is when Persephone summoned an entire forest in the middle of Tartarus, where absolutely nothing is meant to live.

Pragmatic Adaptation: To avoid depicting incest, Smythe deliberately changed a lot of the familial relationships from classic mythology, so that none of the romantic pairings are related to each other by blood e.g. Hera, Hestia and Demeter are not the sisters of Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades; Persephone was made by Demeter alone rather than being a daughter of Zeus, meaning Persephone and Hades aren't niece and uncle, etc...

We Have Reserves: When Aphrodite is informed by Zeus that her son is in trouble for slaughtering more than 300 mortals without a permit her reaction is basically "Who cares? We can always make more mortals!". During their very first meeting, Persephone asks Hades if there is a way to bring mortals back from the Underworld. Hades, kinda being able to guess why she's asking, assures her she doesn't need to worry since "mortals are a dime a dozen".

Death Glare: Hades occasionally has one when he gets angry at someone. Hera sports a positively murderous glare when she crashes Zeus' family brunch to rake him, Poseidon, and Hades over the coals for their crude talk about Persephone. The one Persephone gives Ares when she realizes he lied about being illiterate in order to score with her. If looks could kill, Ares would have imploded.

The Reveal
 Lore Olympus (Webcomic) / int_6b2b3b59
comment
The Reveal: The season 1 finale shows how Kore got the name of Persephone (which means Bringer of Death). After a fight with her controlling mother ends with her being grounded, one of her flower nymph friends who was trying to talk to her is killed when some humans start unintentionally digging up the flowers that they were bound to. She hits her Rage Breaking Point which awakened a sadistic and bloodthirsty dark persona that gleefully slaughtered the offending mortals and their entire city. Demeter covered this up but Persephone's new moniker stuck. Later downplayed when it turns out Kore's account of the events is much more sympathetic and consistent with her characterization thus far: the humans were knowingly destroying land they'd sworn to leave alone, and were jerks when confronted about it. Most of her rampage was due to an out-of-control new power rather than malice.

Politically Correct History
 Lore Olympus (Webcomic) / int_7e74d66f
comment
Politically Correct History: Rachel Smythe has admitted that this trope is in full effect in the comic, applying modern morals and ethics to who are possibly the most infamously vindictive, hedonistic, and amoral mythical pantheon in history. The author has revealed she has no intention of depicting Hades abducting Persephone. Instead, the scene of him accidentally taking her home with him at the beginning of the comic was her "hat tip" to the original myth. In the original myths, the concept of women giving consent to sex didn't exist. In fact, stories of Greek gods and heroes finding ways to trick or force unwilling women into sex was often used to show how "clever" they were. In the webcomic, when Apollo raped Persephone, it's treated as the serious crime that it is. Surprisingly inverted in the tale of Psyche. In the original myths, she couldn't find a husband because Eros refused to have anyone else but him fall in love with her. Here, love has nothing to do with it as Psyche's parents force her into an marriage with a wealthy and abusive man for their own benefit. Another surprising inversion regarding Eros is that when he murders more than 300 people in a bout of heartbreak, he gets chewed upon not because what he did was a horrific act of mass murder, but because he didn't file the appropriate paperwork beforehand. In general, the attitude of the gods towards mortals is for the most part entirely in line with Greek Mythology. The only gods to date who have shown them any kind of sympathy are Persephone and Eros, and the latter only after he experienced for himself the pain of heartbreak.

comment
Sleeping Their Way to the Top: Persephone frequently gets accused of this after the tabloid article of her and Hades walking around in his house makes the rounds and she gets an internship at the Underworld right after. It's completely unfounded, since the two have never slept together and Persephone repeatedly makes it clear to Hades that she does not want or expect special treatment from him, but that predictably doesn't stop people like Thanatos or Minthe from throwing it in her face. Minthe is heavily implied to only still have her job because she's with Hades. Further supported by the fact that she worries about being fired, should Hades break up with her. Thetis is utterly unapologetic about doing this with Zeus and outright refers to him and Hades as meal tickets.

Adaptational Nice Guy: Hades in the original myths was not the villain many works make him out to be, but he was also nowhere as kind or awkward as the comic presents him as. Poseidon is presented with a laidback and carefree attitude, a far cry from the greedy, bad-tempered and easy to offend personality of the original myths.

Destructive Romance: Hades knows his relationship with Minthe is toxic and unhealthy, but decided that since they're both unhappy people they might as well be unhappy together. When Minthe thought Hades might be leaving her for Persephone, she admits that what they have might not be love but she's doesn't want it to end, showing that she's emotionally dependent on Hades to some extent. Deconstructed when Hades eventually realizes he doesn't want this sort of relationship with Minthe anymore, leaves her and refuses to come back.

Laser-Guided Karma: Minthe's spiteful and vindictive actions swing clean back at her when she blurts out that she reported Persephone and Demeter after Hades offered her a job move to help her get over him and do what's best for her. Persephone overheard her, and loses her temper, and transforms her into a mint plant.

In general, the attitude of the gods towards mortals is for the most part entirely in line with Greek Mythology. The only gods to date who have shown them any kind of sympathy are Persephone and Eros, and the latter only after he experienced for himself the pain of heartbreak.

Faux Affably Evil: Apollo first appeared to be friendly if full of himself, only to be revealed to be an egotistical, possessive sexual deviant. Thetis acts like she's Minthe's snarky best bud when she really only cares about herself and even undermines Minthe's relationship with Hades out of jealously. She also acts like she's Zeus's kind lover when really she wants to ruin his marriage.

Momma's Boy: As a child, Hades was shown to be close with his mother Rhea. Eros is just as devoted to his mother Aphrodite as she is to him. Though he still isn't afraid to call her out on her bullshit. Ares is this enough to attempt to hit Zeus with a spear when the latter gets a little too hands-y with Hera.

Amazing Technicolor Population: Characters are depicted in bright solid colors which also serves as color-coding with the exception of mortals who have regular skin tones (such as Psyche and Semele).

comment
Red Eyes, Take Warning: Hades' eyes flash red when he's angry. When Poseidon pretends to be interested in Persephone, Hades gets so worked up that his sclera turns completely red. Persephone takes this a step further by sprouting a crown of red vines when angry, as well as her eyes turning red. Being the God of violence, rage, slaughter, and battle, Ares unsurprisingly has blood red eyes 24/7.

 Lore Olympus (Webcomic) / int_a9cc66ed
comment
Power Makes Your Hair Grow: Persephone normally wears her hair short, but when she's stressed and feeling vulnerable her control over her goddess powers slips and she reverts to long, flowing hair. As a result, the length of her hair fluctuates constantly throughout the webcomic, and there are several points at which she is shown having to cut her hair short again after incidents like her initial encounter with Hades and her assault at the hands of Apollo.

Moral Myopia
 Lore Olympus (Webcomic) / int_b42b7e7b
comment
Moral Myopia: The Olympians are expected to treat each other ethically but regard mortals as nothing but easily-replaceable pawns who are only good for worship, sacrifice, sexual flings and having their souls perform grunt work after they die. Eros is aghast to learn that Apollo raped Persephone but was perfectly willing to have Psyche fall in love with a pig until he himself fell in love with her and when he thought she had betrayed his trust, he randomly murders 300 innocent mortals in a fit of rage. Zeus is upset not at Eros' massacre but because he doesn't have the permit to commit such an act of wrath and because he was harboring a mortal on Olympus while Aphrodite defends her son by saying that they can just make more mortals. Artemis and Apollo murdered 11 of the Queen of Thebes 12 children simply because she said her kids were better than them and they were given medals and thrown a party for doing it. Hestia even compliments Artemis for being nice and letting her keep one child. Hades once referred to mortals as being a dime a dozen and at Persephone's trial he dismisses her massacre of a mortal village as only amounting to Eros having to work half a day more on repopulation.

Horrible Judge of Character: Artemis is suspicious of all men - except for Apollo, thus far the character in the webcomic she should be the most suspicious of where it concerns Persephone. Her enormous blind spot in regards to Apollo is no doubt because he is her twin brother, but it's an enormous blind spot nonetheless, as she repeatedly fails to recognize the obvious signs that Persephone is not comfortable around Apollo or the unpleasant undertones of Apollo's interest in Persephone.

Adaptational Wimp: Thanatos in the Greek myths was the personification of death, feared and hated by all and close Hades in the Underworld food chain. In the comic, he's a mid-range employee at Undercorp and something of a whiny suck-up. He's frequently belittled by his superiors and co-workers and it's implied that anyone could fill his shoes in retrieving mortal souls.

Vitriolic Best Buds: Minthe and Thetis happily greet each other with insults. The trope is deconstructed, however, as it increasingly becomes clear how toxic their "friendship" really is. When Minthe is honestly trying to improve her relationship with Hades, Thetis becomes consumed with frustration and envy that Minthe and Hades are official and exclusive while she's stuck as Zeus' side piece and well aware he'll never leave Hera - and she reacts by deliberately sabotaging Minthe's relationship so that she can feel like less of a failure in comparison.

Affectionate Nickname: Hades and Zeus both call Hera "Bunny", though she doesn't especially seem to appreciate it. Hades also calls Minthe "Tadpole" as an endearment. Apollo calls Persephone "Persie". She doesn't like it. She does, however, like Hades’ nickname for her, “Sweetness�.

Fertility God
 Lore Olympus (Webcomic) / int_e0c83877
comment
Fertility God: Fertility goddesses are born roughly once every generation, and are notable for their ability to bear children who are considerably stronger than their fathers and tend to overthrow them. The protagonist of the comic, Persephone, is this generation's fertility goddess, even though she has no idea, as her mother made sure she had no contact with men and joined a chastity cult. She was not unjustifiably overprotective, though, since as soon as Persephone enters the outside world, she immediately becomes a target, leading to Apollo raping her in order to pressure her into marrying him. The fertility goddesses before Persephone included Metis, Rhea, and Gaia.

Mama Bear: True to her overprotective nature, the instant Persephone calls for help after realizing Ares tricked her to take advantage of her, Demeter rushes in, wraps him up in wheat vines and beats him senseless with a pitchfork.

Persephone frequently gets accused of this after the tabloid article of her and Hades walking around in his house makes the rounds and she gets an internship at the Underworld right after. It's completely unfounded, since the two have never slept together and Persephone repeatedly makes it clear to Hades that she does not want or expect special treatment from him, but that predictably doesn't stop people like Thanatos or Minthe from throwing it in her face.

A-Cup Angst: Once she finds out about Persephone, Minthe starts becoming insecure about her body and checks out her breast size in the bathroom mirror. Humorously illustrated in the December 29th Q-and-A, which included an image of Minthe and Persephone based on a famous photo of Sophia Loren side-eyeing Jayne Mansfield.

Underground City: Fittingly, The Underworld has this dynamic. It has been shown to be not just very industrious but also responsible for near all of the trade of raw goods to the other realms. Though not all of it is functional and some of it abandoned. The only light being Neon and lava.

Dude, Where's My Respect?
 Lore Olympus (Webcomic) / int_f818b637
comment
Dude, Where's My Respect?: Lower tier gods and other non-mortal beings can be rather snippy and rude to the Olympians, who are supposedly the highest authority in-universe. The Olympians themselves are also a lot more tolerant of disrespect than their original incarnations would ever be, although even they have their limits as seen when Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades basically intimidate their way into a strip club they were banned from. Persephone's trial starts to swing in her favor after it's revealed that the mortals she killed belonged to a kingdom that was trying to expand into Demeter's private lands and inadvertently murdered two of Persephone's friends, something that the gods in attendance consider far too disrespectable to go unanswered.

Beware the Nice Ones
 Lore Olympus (Webcomic) / int_fccd06b6
comment
Beware the Nice Ones: How Hades handles getting payback at the photographer who caught him and Persephone is not unlike something out of a Mafia movie abduction and interrogation scene. When another photographer attempts to know more about her and Hades' relationship, Persephone's eyes start turning red and she wears a rather forced looking grin as she grips the photographer's arm to the point of starting to hurt him. When Apollo starts accusing Persephone, Eros, all-around cheerful and campy guy, immediately starts peppering him with arrows and, when he still doesn't get the hint, vows to utterly ruin whatever chance at love he might ever have if he doesn't back off. If Greek mythology is anything to go with, he is not bluffing. The normally sweet Persephone and her darker impulses. Particularly, her Act of Wrath, which resulted in her going on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge and murdering a ton of people over the deaths of her friends.
