What species were Zeus, Hades and Poseidon in the Gargoyles universe?
Greg responds...
Which ones?
matt writes...
in "The New Olympians" Taurus refers to his ancestor, the Minotaur. was the Minotaur an early New Olympian or the Child of Oberon that gave rise to the minotaur-like New Olympians? having the word "the" in front of Minotaur makes him sound like one of Oberon's Children (as in The Banshe, The Puck, or The Coyote) but the comment's about the Minotaur by Taurus seem to hint that he was not as immortal or magical as one of the Children (being starved and killed).
Greg responds...
He was a New Olympian before the term existed. I.e., he was a half-breed. The "the" is probably a reference to his mythic, legendary status.

Are the inhabitants of New Olympus, besides the gargoyles themselves, related to gargoyles?
Greg responds...
Most are not.

Wait a minute, Greg. In my first question you told me humans have had more setbacks in our progression than the New Olympians especailly in the 'Dark Ages' (~500-800 CE). Tell me, just about when was it that the New Olympians started despising humans and moved to their secret island? I mean didn't disease or plague ever affect the New Olympians also?
Greg responds...
Maybe here and there. But largely, no. Better sanitation probably helped.

when Elisa, Goliath, and co. arrived at New Olympus many Olympians were very shocked to see a human and i guess that is because they didn't think a human would ever end up on New Olympus, at least for a long time, but were some of the Olympians shocked because they didn't even believe humans existed? almost no humans in 1996 believed in gargoyles, Olympians or the third race because of the long seperation from each other for millenia. the New Olympians also had this seperation, why are the tales of human cruelty not considered myths and legends?
Greg responds...
They were in hiding. They monitored human transmissions. They knew.
Justin writes...
Dear Greg,
When do suppose the New Olympian clan will make there presence known? You have mentioned that they are somewhat isolationist even with the New Olympians, so it seems unlikely that they would willingly venture into the outside world.
Greg responds...
It'll be a while.
matt writes...
where is New Olympus located? somewhere in the Mediterranean? the Atlantic?
Greg responds...
not saying...
LSZ writes...
If humans make too much 'noise' by changing their environment to suit them instead of adapting to it, are the New Olympians the same when it comes to being in tune with Earth cycles?
Greg responds...
Largely no.
Jim R. writes...
In the episode, "The New Olympians", the inhabitants live on an island that has remained hidden from human exploration by a sort of cloaking field, I guess that is what I heard. My question is, how has their technology advanced so quickly than that of the human-colonized world, when they have existed just as long as humans? I hope this has nothing to do with human wars or slow intellectual progression among our race over the centuries.
Greg responds...
We humans have had setbacks, certainly, scientifically. Does the term "The Dark Ages" ring a bell.
They made steady progress and had a few breakthroughs that we still haven't had.

1)Are there female minotaurs on the island of New Olympus?
Oh I forgot to to tell you this before. Gargoyles is one of the best aminated television shows ever made. You did a pretty good job of creating a world filled with Gothic fantasy and adventure.
Greg responds...
1. Potentially.
And thanks.
