A classic Greek Myth illustrated in modern day graphic novel form. This volume is the story of Persephone and Hades. The story is told from a couple of perspectives. The first is from the Goddess Demeter, a loving mother to her daughter with Zeus, Kore. When Kore goes missing, Demeter will stop at nothing to find and rescue her. The second perspective is that of Kore, a teenage girl, interesting in boys and stepping out from the shadow of her mother. After she is kidnapped she finds her own identity, as Persephone.
This was an excellent re-telling of a greek myth, and the author is breathing new life into interesting, but often dry, classic myths. I cannot imagine a better way to connect students to the Greek Myths. The story was engaging and the artwork was creative and top notch. If Greek myths are part of your curriculum, this series is a must have.
