The story of Hera, Queen of the Gods, and the heroes who won her favor.

Volume 3 of Olympians, Hera: The Goddess and Her Glory, introduces readers to the Queen of the Gods and Goddesses in the Pantheon. This volume tells the tales of the many heroes who sought and won Hera's patronage, most notably Hercules.

In Olympians, O'Connor draws from primary documents to reconstruct and retell classic Greek myths. But these stories aren't sedate, scholarly works. They're action-packed, fast-paced, high-drama adventures with monsters, romance, and not a few huge explosions.

O'Connor's vibrant, kinetic art brings ancient tales to undeniable life, in a perfect fusion of super-hero aesthetics and ancient Greek mythology. This title has Common Core connections.

Industry Reviews

Praise for the Olympians series:

"O'Connor, a self-proclaimed Greek mythology obsessive, has done something wonderful: He's turned the tales of those adventuresome, rascally, feuding, power-mad Greek gods into a nifty set of gorgeously drawn, well-researched graphic novels that kids go nuts for."--New York Times

Praise for Olympians: Hera

"Definitely worth a visit for any young demigod." --Rick Riordan, author of the Percy Jackson & the Olympians series

"Readers . . . will be delighted with this debut title in the Olympians series of graphic novels." --Bulletin of the Cener for Children's Books, starred review
