Inspector Gadget Season 3 Episode 5 Did You Myth Me?

Inspector Gadget is an animated series that follows an comically bumbling cyborg police inspector on his adventures to stop the evil Dr. Claw and his MAD organization. In season 3 episode 5 titled "Did You Myth Me?", Inspector Gadget finds himself in Greece trying to stop a MAD plan to steal an ancient treasure.

The episode begins with Inspector Gadget and his niece Penny arriving in Greece on a mission to stop MAD from stealing an ancient treasure from the temple of Apollo. Yet again, Penny ends up doing most of the actual detective work while Gadget stumbles around and creates chaos. Their investigation leads them to a village where they meet an eccentric old man named Popolus who tells them about the legend of the cursed treasure.

According to the legend, the treasure is guarded by a fierce Minotaur who will attack anyone who tries to steal it. While Penny tries to rationalize that it's just a myth, Gadget enthusiastically believes in the story and wants to use his new Minotaur Detector gadget to find the treasure. Of course, he ends up causing more problems than he solves, including accidentally spray painting a bunch of tourists and knocking over a statue.

As they continue their investigation, they discover that MAD is using a giant drill to dig a tunnel under the temple to steal the treasure. Penny creates a plan to stop them, but Gadget ends up getting captured by MAD agents and taken to their underground lair. It's up to Penny and her trusty computer book to save him and stop MAD's plan.

Throughout the episode, there are several nods to Greek mythology, including the Minotaur, the temple of Apollo, and the legendary treasure. The animation does a good job of capturing the beauty and grandeur of the ancient Greek architecture and landscapes. The characters are also well-designed and have unique personalities that add to the humor and action of the show.

In the end, Penny and Gadget manage to stop MAD and save the treasure, but not before causing a fair amount of chaos and destruction along the way. As they fly back home, Gadget continues to believe in the legend of the Minotaur and even insists on bringing his Minotaur Detector gadget home as a souvenir.

Overall, "Did You Myth Me?" is an entertaining episode that combines humor, adventure, and mythology in a fun way. It's a great addition to the Inspector Gadget series and a must-watch for fans of the show and Greek mythology alike.
