The story starts with Hades taking part in a celebration of Zeus after his companion Minthe broke up with him. Persephone has been permitted to pull out of the mortal realm and go to Olympus by her mom, Demeter.
Hades noticed Persephone and told his brothers, Zeus and Poseidon, that the beauty of Persephone is a challenge to Aphrodite. Because of jealousy, Aphrodite summons Eros, her son, to get Persephone intoxicated.
Eros places her in the seat of Hades’ car in an attempt to have Persephone embarrassed in front of Hades. After their first encounter with this incident, Persephone Lore Olympus, and Hades show interest in each other and become a couple.
Lore Olympus Season 1 Storylines
There are some intense plotlines seen in season one of Lore Olympus. One part of the story has Persephone asking for Hades’ assistance to bring back her friends. They died when sacred plants were uprooted by mortals, a scheme by Thanatos, Minthe, and Thetis to destroy the reputation of Persephone.
Another complicated and sad part of the storyline is when Persephone is raped by Apollo and the conflicted thoughts of Persephone over a college scholarship that needs her to avoid sex.
One dramatic scene is when Persephone meets Apollo, who is instantly attracted to Persephone. Persephone was not interested in him. However, Apollo does not like rejection, and he thinks he can take what he wants, which leads to raping her and taking photos.
Apollo thinks he is entitled to having Persephone, despite being rejected by her constantly. However, in the last episode of Season 1, Apollo goes after Daphne, Persephone’s friend. When Persephone discovers this, she gives a warning to Apollo to stay away.
Persephone must also figure out what is the best thing to do about her scholarship. Persephone’s education has been financed by being a Goddess of Eternal Maidenhood, avoiding sex at all costs.
Additionally, Demeter is only permitting Persephone to be on Olympus due to the scholarship. Persephone begins having second thoughts. However, if she turns down her scholarship, Persephone risks her education and independence.
Persephone must think of an effective plan that permits her to live a free life without being bound to TGOEM. However, it will be more challenging with Demeter in town.
