In a Tweet sent on Monday, July 19th, 2021, Rachel Smythe unveiled the cover for the second volume of the collected Lore Olympus. Arriving on February 1st, 2022 and published by Penguin Random House and Del Rey Books, Lore Olympus Vol. 2 will be available in both paperback and hardcover.

Lore Olympus 

Lore Olympus is an Eisner-nominated, mostly-modern retelling of the Classic myth, the Abduction of Persephone. It is originally published on Webtoon, where new episodes are uploaded on Sundays – you can still read it for free if you’d like.

A Spanish-language translation of the series has been released, as well.

In October 2019, an animated adaptation of Lore Olympus from the Jim Henson Company was announced. 

Second Collection

As denoted by the volume number, this is the second Lore Olympus collection, with the first still forthcoming. As previously reported here at The Beat, the first volume of Lore Olympus will be released on October 5th, 2021.

Lore Olympus Volume Two
Lore Olympus Volume One arrives in October 2021.

The first volume will collect episodes one through twenty-five of the Webtoon series, along with an exclusive bonus chapter. The second volume will include episodes twenty-six through forty-nine.

You can read more about both upcoming collections at the Lore Olympus collection website, where you can also preorder both volumes. Preorders of volume one include a digital download of wallpapers for cell phone telephones and desktop computers, and there is also a Barnes & Noble exclusive cover featuring original art by Smythe, so collectors will want to be sure and survey all the options before making their purchasing plans.
