Yeah, I do remember King Midas, and obviously there was the Pegasus reference from 'Good Form' But admittedly, these were both pretty weak 1-shot references, and aside from turning Frederick into gold in Season One, Midas could have just been any King and it wouldn't have affected the plot too much.

What I should have said was I can't see anyone from Greek mythology featured in a big way to further the plot or even base a whole season around. I'm not sure they will ever show the Gods on Mount Olympus and even if Hercules was ever on the show, I'm guessing he would just be a legendary warrior with a vague explanation of his demi-god power. So, in light of that, I would guess that they wouldn't liken King Triton to Poseidon (even though according to myth, Triton is Poseidon's son) and would just stick with Disney canon.

Oh, and I am not sure on Lana as Ursula. I guessed that would happen, based on how much Lana wanted the role, but after I've seen the promo, I found myself cringing at how much I disliked it. I feel like the only person who doesn't like Regina as Ursula. Of course, a tiny snippet is not enough for me to decide 100% and I hope I really love it, but for now, I'm not sold on OctoQueen.
