Todd Jensen writes...

A question about the New Olympians question. It's obvious enough why the ones that were viewed as monsters by humans and consequently hunted by them (such as Taurus's minotaur ancestors) would want to flee to New Olympus and shut themselves off from the outside world. But why did the ones who were worshipped as gods decide to withdraw themselves to New Olympus? After all, if they were being worshipped, that would be more of an incentive to remain in the outside world rather than to leave it.

They weren't actually immortal. Humanity was catching up. And nothing gets tired faster with the masses than a "fallen idol".

All this is to say, that there was no ONE reason. But there were many factors.
