Hades by George O'Connor6/1/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() What is often overlooked in more traditional re-telling is Persephone as an individual while there is a lot more time devoted to Hades and to Demeter. In Hades, Persephone is definitely struggling to definie herself in relation to others but also in regards to her own self. In Hades: Lord of the Dead, the artwork was beautiful, the characters were really engaging, and I liked the new direction the graphic novel went in. Review: As always, I remain really impressed by O’Connor’s ability to re-tell myths that I am overly familar with in a way that still makes them fresh, exciting, and moving. Be prepared to see a new side of Persephone in this dynamic adaptation of the story of the creation of the seasons. Hades: Lord of the Dead tells the story of the great God of the Underworld and one of the most famous of all Greek myths: Hades’ abduction of Persephone and her mother’s revenge. Why did I read it: I’ve enjoyed all the books in the Olympians series. I also have a hard time resisting any and all re-tellings of the myth of Persephone. ![]()
