I'm hoping we see most of major gods in this arc. That would be Zeus, Hera, Posiden (who's already been seen), Demeter, Hades, Hestia, Aphrodite, Athena, Ares, Apollo, Artemis, Hephestus, Hermes, and Dyonesis. I think they could all work on the show in various ways. Time will tell. Depends. I think they should divide and simplify. Poseidon in Once seems to not at all be related to Greek myth and he seemed not that powerful without his trident. Goddess Ursula seemed to be the head honcho. She might have been unseen, but she actually turns all the mermaids' fins into legs for a day. That is a deity and Hook referred to Poseidon as the Sea King, although he called himself a deity, but a lesser deity.

So, I think they can do a little here and there where there is no Poseidon, but Urusla and various Sea Kings, like Poseidon and others. Likewise, there might be a ruler of the Underworld, but it doesn't need to be the only one and he isn't the controller of life and death, just another Ursula, or even just a Poseidon and be one of many lesser deities.

Magic seems to be in direct contrast with the Greek Gods. The Sun seems to be the sun, not attached to a chariot and Aphrodite can't make people fall in love and her whole speil probablybwould make her the most powerful because TL is the most powerful magic ever. At least Demeter has some foreshadow with Merlin turning a desert into a lush forest. That's the thing though, they can use as little or as much from the mythology as they want. Aphrodite can simply attract anyone to herself with her magic girdle. Apollo can be handsome and good with music and poetry. I don't expect to see every aspect of these gods because if they did they would be way overpowered compaired to the rest of the characters. I still think they could work them in in some way. I actually thought how they handled Posiden was very good.
