Description

Shunned even before she was born and destined to live a life of solitude, Artemis, Goddess of the Hunt, finds power through her skilled hunting ability and mighty bow. She slays those who wish to do harm to the innocent and takes care of the young and helpless. She protects women and young girls, helps in childbirth, soothes, and is unrivaled in her hunting abilities. In the latest volume of Olympians, New York Times-bestselling author George O'Connor continues to turn his extensive knowledge of the original Greek myths into rip-roaring graphic novel storytelling.

Reviews

An excellent addition to graphic novel and Greek mythology collections.--School Library Journal, starred review

O'Connor offers a portrait of the Wild Goddess of the Hunt as probably the last of the Olympians you'd want to cross. --Kirkus

O'Connor's cinematic artwork is an enthusiastic vehicle for these tales, with plenty of action and an expressive, strong deity at its center.--Booklist
