New Olympus is a location from the Disney animated series Gargoyles.
Background[]
New Olympus is an island that the New Olympians built at an unspecified date (presumably between the founding of Rome during the reign of Caesar Augustus) to protect themselves from humans. Most of the inhabitants encountered in this area are descendants of Greek mythology known as the "New Olympians" - specifically descendants of legendary creatures or beings who adjust in modern times almost equivalent to a modern city inhabited by humans. New Olympus also has its own security through the use of modern chariots to detect any threat that arrives on the island which can possess offensive weaponry at high speed to capture enemies.
This island remained undisturbed by the outside world until 1996 when the Manhattan Clan came to the island as part of the Avalon World Tour. During Elisa's visit to the island, the inhabitants thought of humans as a threat to them on their island due to their ancestors having contact with humans over the years, resulting in Elisa being temporarily imprisoned. However, after a misunderstanding when Elisa saved the island from Proteus who attempted to escape, the New Olympians misunderstand Elisa (they realized that she is causing no harm to them) and thus allowed her to leave the island with her friends.
The exact location of New Olympus is unknown.
