Olympians series.
O'Connor's author's note states, "Hera is my favorite goddess...I really like her style." This series entry focuses on the queen of the Greek gods, Zeus's wife, who usually plays a supporting role in the myths. In this graphic novel version, Hera's sassy 'tude and no-nonsense sensibility bring a modern flair to the ancient tales.

Olympians series.
After opening with the history of Zeus's ancestors, the tale progresses to the birth of the "king of the gods," his fight with the Titans, and the rise of the Olympians: "ageless and immortal, a new race of gods." This graphic novel treatment brings a modern, colorful, action-packed look to an old tale. Reading list. Bib.

In this graphic novel, the Fates narrate a collection of myths featuring the Greek goddess, including the story of her birth from Zeus's skull, the Olympians' battle with the Gigantes, and Medusa's betrayal of Athena. The lively format brings a modern sensibility to the ancient myths and makes them accessible to a wide audience. Reading list. Bib.
