Description

Volume 2 of *Goddess School of Olympus*, titled *Persephone's Lies*, stands out for its ingenious premise that goddesses from Greek mythology attend elementary school. Featuring four goddesses known as the "Goddess Girls"—Athena, Persephone, Aphrodite, and Artemis—as protagonists, the book guides children to "Olympus School," where the gods of Greek mythology attend. Volume 2 captures Persephone's chaotic school life. Persephone detests herself for telling lies that contradict her true feelings just to get along with her friends. One day, she meets Hades, the god of the underworld, with whom she can honestly reveal her true self, and falls for him. However, her friends warn her not to get close to Hades, calling him a delinquent. When even her nosy mother, Demeter, opposes her meeting Hades, Demeter decides to run away from home…

The previous book, Olympus Goddess School 1, was the story of Athena, and this book, Olympus Goddess School 2, contains the story of Persephone. Persephone was a liar. When she went shopping with Aphrodite and Athena, they went to a sewing shop. Persephone did not want to buy yarn, but because her friends kept talking about it, she ended up buying it. On the way home, the shopping bag containing the yarn tore, so Persephone grabbed only a single strand of yarn and swung it down to the human

This is a story featuring mythological figures that my child has seen in comics. Personally, I think the illustrations and content are definitely more likely to appeal to girls than boys. I encountered Volume 2 first, having not read Volume 1. This story is about Persephone's lie. What kind of lie did Persephone tell? I was curious about what happened even before reading. There are four friends at Olympus School: Persephone, Aphrodite, Artemis, and Athena. After class, the friends suggest going

This is the second volume of *Olympus Goddess School*. In Volume 1, we witnessed the twists and turns Athena experienced after leaving the human world to attend the gods' elementary school. Just as the stories of best friends Athena, Persephone, and Aphrodite seem to be connecting one by one, this time we focus on Persephone's story. Of course, unlike the original Greek and Roman mythology, Persephone is not dragged away by Hades; instead, the narrative flows by depicting the heart-fluttering

Although my child has loved and enjoyed reading myths since childhood and has practically memorized most of the stories, they still love the illustrations that beautifully portray the characters of the gods they know and the goddesses in the book. Just like with Volume 1, they read Volume 2 over and over again, getting lost in their imagination. My child, who loves drawing, traces the characters whenever there is a blank space. It is undeniably enough to capture their attention the moment they

Olympus Goddess School is a book that adapts well-known Greek and Roman mythology into a story tailored to children's tastes. It depicts the various problems and worries that modern children face—such as interactions with friends and issues with the opposite sex—by setting them within a series of events that take place at a school attended exclusively by goddesses and gods. Apparently, it is a popular series in the U.S. The illustrations are beautiful, and the content is also designed to
