I’m so happy that someone else is anti lore olympus. Everything about it is an insult to Greek mythology and it turns hades and persephone’s relationship into a sugar baby x sugar daddy wattpad story 💀
Atleast they didn’t butcher Amphitrite unlike everyone else 😮💨
YESSS. I am so against lore olympus. The fans are terrible. They once attacked someone for liking mythology Apollo and they acted as if LO was the ‘original source’. Persephone is like just a mary sue and she is short and drawn like a toddler 💀 like she is 1/3 Hades’ height. Hades also just groomed Persephone and she is a home wrecker. Hera is just overly mean for no reason and them pathetic. And the marriage scene is just diabolical 💀 it wasn’t even a greek wedding but a christian one 😭
Minthe deserves better. And i do not trust one fan of LO. Never.
Amphy did slowly loose her design but she still isnMt a groomer, home wrecker, sugar baby or alcoholist
You know a story is bad when even Zeus seems like a better person
EXACTLY!!!
It’s literally the worst interpretation of Greek mythology and Greek culture I’ve ever seen! I was originally drawn into it because of the early artstyle but then it reared off into some ugly territory and I soon dropped it.
It tries to make itself look like a story about a forbidden relationship between a tall, brooding, mysterious, and rich god x a short, sweet, and bubbly goddess but under all that it has horrible horrible problems…
Grooming, classism, racism, sexism, and basically white-washing another country’s deities for a basic trashy sugar baby story.
All of this lies in this so-called “Feminist retelling” story….
I will never forgive the author for trying to villainize Demeter.
RIGHT. they say it’s a feminists retelling yet look at how Minthe and Demeter were treated. Demeter simply wanted to look out for Persephone and make her life better because she didn’t want her to go trough the things she had to. Hera is a bitch who is mean to everyone and also has her own struggles but so does Minthe. Minthe and Hera are the same yet so differently treated. Aphrodite also had to hear everyone compare Persephone to her.
The retelling is only a feminine one when it comes to persephone who has everything handed on a solver plate, had everything she could ask for and chooses a groomer for ver her mother.
Persephone is a self insert of the autor and her celebrity crush
If someone makes a modern interpretation of Greek mythology that STILL bastardizes Demeter in favor of the hades x persephone relationship, I’m never reading that ignorant shit.
Demeter is a great mother who was trying to protect her daughter from experiencing the dark side of her pantheon and yet once persephone got a taste of the rich, luxury lifestyle from hades, she dropped all her goals and ambitions of being an independent woman to be his housewife while scorning the most hardworking woman who was unfairly hated by her siblings. Great progressive message Rachel 🤦🏾♀️
And the way she handled Minthe, Aphrodite, and Hestia. Lord that gets me so MAD!
In another universe, Lore olympus!Hera isn’t a hypocritical and racist cheater who made her child a personal bartender and actively supports her blue Smurf ass brother’s grooming 😭
Hera was even against Hades dating Persephone yet instantly switched because the plot needed a support character. Whats even worse is that Demeter still covered up for Persephone during the trial. She dod everything for her. Yet during the trial she was worried about Hades who was banished to his own realm. Not like Demeter who was banished to the mortals where she is alone and can’t see her daughter, no, she cared more about Hades.
Persephone also expects everyone to give her special treatment. She is stupid and blindly believes anything. Hades gives into her and bends everything for her. Thats why she never has to face the consequence. Zeus himself even said that if it was someone else Hades would already been on board with Zeus himself.
The creator also doesn’t make persephone likable because of her actions but because the narrator and characters say that she’s this or that what just proofs the shitty story telling
