I just want to point out that bringing the Greek Gods and Godesses onto the show is a little different than the Greek heroes (Perceus allusion), monsters (Medusa), and humans (Midas). I mean they are deities, not just magic users or something. Plus, there have been Christian undertones in EF (both when Lancelot married Snow and Charming and when they had the big marriage ceremony), so adding gods on top of that may make the show overly political and confusing. I mean, does that mean there are religious wars going on? Are a bunch of Knights from the Round Table going to overthrow Agrabah because of its different religious beliefs? These are areas I don't think the show wants to go, and because of that, I don't think we will get gods from any religion (mythologcial or otherwise).

They've already outright called Ursula a sea goddess in season 3, however. So it's highly possible that the EF is a religiously tolerant world.
