Dionysos: The New God (Olympians #12)
by George O'Connor (Author)
In the final volume of the New York Times-bestselling Olympians graphic novel series, author/artist George O'Connor focuses on Dionysos, the god of wine and madness.
The Olympians saga draws to a close with the tale of Dionysos, the last Olympian, and maybe, just maybe, the first of a new type of God. His story is told by the first Olympian herself, Hestia, Goddess of the hearth and home. From her seat in the center of Mt. Olympus, Hestia relates the rise of Dionysos, from his birth to a mortal mother, to his discovery of wine, his battles with madness and his conquering of death itself, culminating, finally, in his ascent to Olympus and Godhood.

Review quotes
Praise for Dionysos:
O'Connor's illustrations are bursting with action, humor and lots of details. He researched the ancient myths in order to get as close as possible to the original stories. That means his gods and goddesses are fierce, but also voluptuous, mischievous and even snarky.—NPR Morning Edition
O'Connor's brand of classical mythology for modern sensibilities serves as a good introduction to the gods and settings of the Greek myths. —Publishers Weekly A first-rate series. —Kirkus Reviews, starred review
