George O’Connor’s vibrant, kinetic art brings ancient tales to life in the New York Times Bestselling series Olympians. This fusion of super-hero aesthetics and ancient Greek mythology is perfect for fans of Percy Jackson! Dionysos, is the last Olympian, and maybe, just maybe, the first of a new type of God. His story is told by the first Olympian herself, Hestia, Goddess of the hearth and home. From her seat in the center of Mt. Olympus, Hestia relates the rise of Dionysos, from his birth to a mortal mother, to his discovery of wine, his battles with madness and his conquering of death itself, culminating, finally, in his ascent to Olympus more

The Graphic Library - Sara Campbell
Jul 17, 2021If you're unfamiliar with this series, it's a great graphic novel primer on the main twelve gods of the Greek Pantheon. I've started backwards in my reviews with the last volume. Each can be read independently of each other, but there is a small through-line that does encourage the reader to go in order. There are some references to previous volumes, but O'Connor has copious author notes in the back that explain each of these references in case the reader has missed something. The stories are also fairly short, so these would be great for elementary or middle school students dipping their toes into Greek Mythology. Read Full Review
