The story of Hades and Persephone is one of my favorite myths, so I had to read this too. I love the artwork in this one. And the way George O‘Connor reimagines their story. I would recommend these graphic novels to anyone who enjoys mythology. They seem good for any age. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Book 2 finished for #DeweysReadathon #Deweys24HrReadathon #DeweyOct @DeweysReadathon

Another retelling of the myth of Hades kidnapping Persephone. This one was slightly more in keeping with the traditional story.

Loved the art!

A good book about Hades and Persephone and how the underworld works ruled by them.

+6 for #TeamStoker

I am loving this series! The titles are misleading, as they‘re not solely about the titular god but the body of myths surrounding them. This volume focuses on the kidnapping of Kore/emergence of Persephone and Demeter gets as much space as Hades does, but it‘s good. And Persephone actually has some agency - what a change!

4⭐️I really like this spin on the tale of Hades and Persephone. In this one, Persephone actually has a part in the story and- wait for it- she‘s kinda badass. She has a slight dark side, and she wants to be there with Hades! Read it! 🌑🍎😈 I love the discussion questions and extra fun notes in the back- I‘m thinking maybe a fun bookclub next year??

Arcana These two are my favorites ❤️ 6y

Homeric Hymns (Rev) | Charles Boer

This is the first translation of the Homeric Hymns (don‘t let the title deceive you - the author of this is unknown) that I‘ve read. Some #hymns had me giggling and some had me astounded by their beauty. I chose this particular passage because of its reference to #Hekate, the deity with whom I am most connected. The notes are not mine - I never write in or dog-ear books. #poetry #greekmythology #usedbooks #hecate #persephone #demeter #zeus #hades
