    Hades, king of the Underworld, has his eyes on a potential bride—Persephone. When he forces her to live with him, Persephone’s mother, the goddess of nature, is not happy. Soon, Earth falls into ruin. In order to set things right, the Greek gods and goddesses must make a compromise. Learn Persephone’s story in this modern, graphic retelling of a classic Greek myth.
