Sorry. Is there a way to merge threads? I know other forums can do this. Here I posted your response from the other thread:

Hades - a mysterious, dangerous and vindictive God-like figure known obscurely as "Distinguished Gentleman" or DG

Hercules - a dashing, strapping young man who is single-minded in his pursuit of his destiny: to be the greatest hero who ever lived

Megara - a plucky, 18-year old female adventurer with a sly sense of humor and a tough, no-nonsense spirit

I AM SO EXCITED! And the episode's title suggests we might see a lot of deceased characters, especially when taking into account Adam's statement about bringing back more old faces!

The dead characters I want to see are Graham (obviously!), Nealfire (obviously!), Ingrid (I love her, don't judge me, and she could be an ally!), Cruella (she was gone too soon!), Lizard (another one who was gone too soon! Plus connectivity with Wonderland!) and Cora, who will obviously now be married to Hades, since Cora is another name for Persephone, the Queen of the Underworld. Cora's a power-hungry witch. I doubt she'd let any other title be given to her other than Queen.

Who do you guys wanna see back? Thanks. LOL

I stand by what I said. I want them back lol I agree with everything you said. It seems like DG is Hades, Male Char is Herc, and Female Char is Meg. We will see lots of the dead characters back via the Underworld, and Cora will be Persephone, aka Queen of the Underworld (even death couldn't stop Cora's power-hungriness XD). I can't believe Persephone was also know as Cora, I did not know that before you said it, and then I double checked using Wikipedia, and I just about fell off my chair. If Adam and Eddy had this planned the whole time they are geniuses! I'm super excited! Everyone can't handle the awesome! I need it to be March already! Yay!!! There's no way in Hell (ha!) that they realized the Queen of Hearts could also be the Queen of Hades (Hades is also the name of the Underworld, not just the God).

But in an interesting parallel, Regina is obsessed with apples. Persephone was cursed by a pomegranate. Both fruits are top suspects for the Biblical Forbidden Fruit, specifically the pomegranate, which when eaten by Persephone, made her stay with her husband Hades in fall and winter.

The last post in this forum thread explains the connection between Kore (Cora) and Persephone more than I ever could. I'm betting Cora's mother is Demeter as well, who better to court a miller then the Goddess of Farming and Agruculture. XD I doubt they'd make Cora a demi-goddess. Though that would explain her affinity for magic and how Zelena was born so powerful despite Cora not even having learned magic yet.

Plus, if her mother was Demeter, Goddess of the Harvest, wouldn't Cora... Y'know, never go hungry and thus technically not be poor? Perhaps Demeter had a falling out with the miller and left him and Cora to starve? (because the show obviously needs more villain parents). Even if the original has Demeter love Persephone, it could be an interesting twist on it. Oh, that's really good. Head canon accepted. Now let's see if Adam and Eddy can even come up with something half as good as that. XD
