Rachel Smythe’s Lore Olympus constantly attracts new audiences because of its unique approach to Greek mythology, which emphasizes the troubled but caring souls of Persephone and Hades. In Lore Olympus Chapter 132-139, the character relationships deepen, building anticipation for the next events. Lore Olympus Chapter 131 made our blood boil the most when she saw how humans had violated the flower nymphs’ garden, breaking the deal they had struck. When Persephone shouted for peace, she was turned into contempt and forced to go through her breaking point and unleash what she had bottled up. The trauma shapes Persephone conflicts, inner strength, and loyalty to Hades.

Hades’s Protective Nature Towards Persephone

Lore Olympus Chapter 132: Persephone’s Panic

In Lore Olympus Chapter 132, Persephone confides in Hades, recounting the chaotic events that led to her loss of control. She describes feeling disoriented during the incident, unable to recall how the destruction unfolded. When she regained her senses, she was horrified by the damage she had caused. As panic took over, her powers spiraled, transforming her into a giant, terrifying the humans who fled in fear. Despite her attempts to calm them, her efforts only worsened the situation.

Persephone admits to Hades that while she takes responsibility, she doesn’t act out of rage or desire to harm anyone. She feels hypocritical for previously judging him, thinking he must now see her as disgraceful. But he reassures her, recognizing her flaws alongside her strength. He now understands her reasons for giving coins to souls and asking about retrieving them from the Underworld.

Hades shows Persephone a recording of their first meeting night’s events, and she finds a sense of relief. Grateful for his support, she acknowledges that he had every right to be angry but chose kindness instead. He reminds her of her consistent kindness toward him. As Lore Olympus Chapter 132 ends, Hades hints at revealing his secrets, setting the stage for deeper revelations and mutual understanding.

Chapter 133: Hades’s Loneliness

In Lore Olympus Chapter 133, Hades tells Persephone about his traumatic past. He asks her not to look at him as he shares, and she reassures him that he should only speak if he’s comfortable. He recounts how his father, Kronos, never wanted children but desired Rhea, who insisted on keeping Hades. Hades describes a bittersweet early childhood until, at age six, Kronos devoured him, trapping him for 13 years. Despite despising his father, Hades craved any interaction, even feeling relief when Kronos spoke to him. His eventual escape left him with lasting physical and emotional scars.

Hades finds solace in the company of his brothers, Poseidon and Zeus, though Poseidon recovered from their shared trauma more quickly. Hades shares his experiences with Persephone, acknowledging that traumatic memories can become more manageable with time. She asks if the pain ever truly fades, and he admits it hasn’t for him but has become smaller.

Their heartfelt moment is interrupted by Hermes, searching for Persephone. Hades questions Hermes’s intentions, implying a desire to stay in Zeus’s favor, and firmly declares that Persephone is with him. Lore Olympus Chapter 133 ends on this tense note, heightening anticipation for what comes next.

In Lore Olympus Chapter 134, Persephone arrives by Hades’s side and encounters Hermes. She insists on accompanying him to Zeus, but Hermes declines, feeling responsible for recent events. As he leaves, Persephone regrets her impulsiveness in revealing herself. Hades reassures her, acknowledging her sense of responsibility, but urges caution. He suggests she stay safe in his domain while he attends work, but she wishes to join him. Hades offers a solution, returning with an invisibility cloak so she can remain unseen.

The scene shifts to Minthe, with Thanatos confidently predicting that Hades will return to her. When Hades arrives, Minthe tries to manipulate him, suggesting he might want company after the news about Persephone. Hades dismisses her, saying he’s busy, and warns her to stay out of it. Angered, Minthe questions Hades’s loyalty to Persephone, calling her inconsistent—sometimes too perfect, sometimes too wrathful. Hades points out her contradictions and asserts that it doesn’t matter if Persephone embodies both traits. Frustrated, Minthe storms off.

Persephone then reveals herself, and Thanatos, realizing Hermes was right, understands the gravity of the situation. Lore Olympus Chapter 134 ends with this heavy realization hanging over them.

Chapter 135: The Virtual Meeting

As Hades accepts the call, he finds Zeus, Hera, Artemis, Poseidon, and others present. Zeus asks if Hades has Kore, and Hades confirms, with Persephone revealing herself on the call.

Hestia reassures Persephone about her scholarship and safety, but Zeus questions why Hades didn’t bring her to him. While Persephone invokes Section 34.5/h of the Olympus Underworld Treaty, She explains that her location places her under Hades’ jurisdiction, requiring an extradition request for her to leave.

The infuriated Zeus warns Persephone of severe consequences, but Hades mutes the call briefly to tell Persephone to leave the room. He then confronts Zeus, criticizing the mishandling of Persephone’s case and revealing that he found her near hibernation in a junkyard after Zeus’s warrant. Hades warns his brother not to threaten Persephone again, dismissing Zeus’s claim that Persephone is manipulating him.

The scene then shifts to Persephone exploring Hades’ home. She discovers the swimming pool and is surprised by its size. Hades arrives, and Persephone invites him to join her in the pool, ending Lore Olympus Chapter 135.

Hades acknowledges the hurt but advises her not to take it to heart, suggesting Zeus only said it to provoke him. The scene shifts to a heated argument between Hera and Zeus, where he accuses her of not supporting him. She retorts that he hasn’t consulted her, making support impossible. She reminds him of Demeter’s sacrifices during the Titanomachy, criticizing his warrant against her without warning. 

Later, the scene moves to Persephone and Hades in the kitchen, where they meet Hera. Hera reassures him that she won’t force Persephone to confront Zeus. After he leaves, she confides in Persephone about her visions, admitting they are often vague but were stronger in her youth. She shares that a recent vision led her to suspect something deeper, especially after an encounter with Apollo while disguised as Persephone.

Hera asks if her suspicions are true, and Persephone confirms. Realizing her suffering, Hera insists they inform Zeus, and she finally admits. Lore Olympus Chapter 136 ends with uncertainty and tension between revealing and keeping the truth hidden.

Chapter 137: The Promise

Lore Olympus Chapter 137 begins with Persephone pleading with Hera not to speak of what she has learned, emphasizing the importance of keeping it secret if Hera has any care for her. However, Hera insists that something must be done; she can’t continue to act as though she knows nothing about the situation. Persephone counters by reminding her that if she can endure being around the person responsible, she should also be able to. Despite appreciating Hera’s concern, she clarifies that she wants to handle things independently, urging her to leave.

Hera, trying to be supportive, questions what leverage the person has over Persephone. She is willing to help discreetly, acknowledging that she might come across as the wronged wife due to her husband’s infidelity. But she still wants to be there for Persephone. This leads to Persephone’s reluctant revelation: the person in question possesses compromising photos of her, which forces her to leave initially. She confesses that he even sent some of the photos to her, but she broke her phone in response. Hera assures Persephone that she will handle the situation, offering support and promising to be there.

After their conversation, Hera asks if Persephone is comfortable staying at Hades’s place and offers to arrange something else.

The two share a lighthearted moment, enjoying each other’s company as they play.

Later, the scene shifts to Zeus, who reflects on the disastrous meeting, frustrated by Hades’s uncooperative behavior. Zeus is determined to use Persephone as an example to uphold the status quo, yet he struggles to understand why Hades is being so difficult. Additionally, Zeus is concerned about the implications of Persephone’s powers, which suggest she could be a fertility goddess, which could disrupt the balance of power in Olympus.

Concerned, Echo pulls Daphne aside to question her about why she’s dating Apollo. She explains that after a long period of silence, Apollo suddenly asked her out, and she decided to give him a chance.

Echo admits that she initially thought Daphne was just toying with Apollo, assuming it wouldn’t lead to anything serious. However, she now feels obligated to share critical information: she saw Apollo in Hera’s office recently, attempting to apply to marry Persephone. She emphasizes that she doesn’t believe Apollo has moved on from Persephone, but Daphne brushes off her concerns.

As the date progresses, Daphne becomes increasingly uncomfortable. She excuses herself to the bathroom, using the opportunity to attempt an escape through the bathroom window. At this moment, Thanatos spots her and offers assistance. He helps her to climb out of the window, and she expresses her gratitude for his help. Meanwhile, Apollo waits for Daphne to return, unaware that she has left with Thanatos.
