Mount Olympus
Mount Olympus is the highest mountain in Greece and the original location of Olympus, the traditional home of the Greek Gods. It is no longer the location of Olympus because as Chiron explains, the city of Olympus has steadily moved west following the center of power of the "Western Civilization" over the centuries and is now in the United States of America. Olympus is currently located far above the Empire State Building (600th floor), while the original mountain remains in Greece. In the The Lost Hero, it is revealed that while Olympus moves with Western Civilization, the "roots" of the Olympians are still there. It is also revealed that that's where the giants plan to go as it's the only way to actually defeat the gods.
Olympus (Not to be confused with Mount Olympus in Greece) (Όλυμπος in Ancient Greek) is the home of the Olympian gods. It was originally located on Mount Olympus in Greece, but, as Chiron explains it has steadily moved over to the west, following "Western Civilization" over the centuries (it had been in central Europe for about 500 years) and is now in the United States of America. Instead of being the physical mountain, it is a metaphysical duplicate. This mountain does not connect with the ground and cannot be detected by mortals, but is connected to the mortal world by a bridge (the elevator). It possibly exists in some other dimensions, due to it floating with its great mass over a mortal city undetected. At the top of it is a large city containing the palaces for the Olympian gods and goddesses and residences for many minor gods and other creatures of Greek mythology. It is on the 600th floor of the Empire State Building.
It is here that the gods commune, each having a massive throne, which are collectively arranged in a reversed U shape. It also houses some of the minor gods and magical creatures, such as the Ophiotaurus. Although it used to actually be located at the peak of Mount Olympus, it is now on the 600th floor of the Empire State Building, having moved with Western Civilization. The only mortal way to get up to Mount Olympus is past a Security Guard in the lobby, who won't let you pass unless you have special authorization. Olympus is described as a paradise, with golden buildings and happy people. Along with the gods lives hundreds of other creatures and beings. The cabins at Camp Half Blood are in the same shape as the thrones. Zeus, king of Olympus.Added by PercyJacksonfan12 Most gods live on Olympus, but a few others prefer to tend to their native kingdoms, like Hades and Poseidon, though Poseidon has a throne in the council while Hades does not.
As the seat of power of the Olympian gods it is of vital importance. Should the throne room be destroyed, Mount Olympus would crumble and the power of the gods would be severely weakened, making them vulnerable to their enemies. In theory, if it were destroyed and the Olympians regained enough strength it could be reformed. In the meantime, they would be vulnerable to their enemies. It is unknown how the destruction of Olympus would affect the minor gods. However, Hades thinks he can hold by himself for four years in the Underworld without Olympus.
Following the conclusion of the Second Titan War, Annabeth Chase was given the honor of redesigning the destroyed Olympus.
