How does Lore Olympus use myth as inspiration for character design, particularly in their god forms? Let’s take a look…

We take a look at Hera in myth, particularly the rebellion she staged against Zeus and wonder…could it happen in Lore Olympus?

Persephone has appeared in mythic stories over millenia. Shannon takes a trip through some of her favorite iterations of Persephone and what it could mean for Lore Olympus’ future dread queen.

In Episode 180 of Lore Olympus, the trial reveals that the young goddess Persephone had plans to utilize her powers to create “something new” that would be “rewarding” for “exceptional” mortals in the afterlife. We surmise this alludes to the mythic Elysium, and break down some of what we know from history and literature.

The tale of Eros and Psyche is perhaps one of the most familiar ones in classic mythology. Eros and Psyche’s love personifies the union between love and soul, and their fate is most especially noted for being one of the few stories in mythology that had a happy ending.

We finally meet the God of Fire and Forge! Here are some (many) of our thoughts about the Olympian.

Good relationships are edifying. They build an individual up, not break them down. Sometimes the scariest part of intimacy is vulnerability.

In Episode 133, Hades takes that step with Persephone. It’s his attempt to empathize with her in her own struggle, but is intertwined with his own personal growth.

Persephone was born to be the Goddess of Spring, but she was also born with a feeling. We consider what this means, and asked the fandom their take.

At its core, the Enneagram personality types help us to see ourselves at a deeper, more objective level and can be of invaluable assistance on our path to self-knowledge. Ultimately though, it is a subtle assignment of traits and with fictional characters, there is no right answer. Thus, what follows here is one person’s interpretation. 

In Lore Olympus, the character of Demeter is still a bit of a mystery. Our exposure to her, thus far, paints her as a controlling and overbearing mother, unwilling to see her child as the adult that she is.

Can Hades be truly in love with Persephone after only knowing her for two weeks?
