However Hades was still tricked into taking the Underworld as his domain. It varies based on source, but I like to go with Hades, Hestia, Posiden, Demeter, Hera, Zeus for the order. I go with the more likely (or rather the one that's hilariously patterned): Hestia (usually the oldest), Hades, Demeter, Poseidon, Hera, and then along came Zeus. A basic Girl-Boy pattern.

Anyway, Hades is the oldest and Zeus is the youngest and that ties in with Zelena and Regina, if we ignore Poseidon, which I think they will. I mean, there are a ton of similarities: Oddity (Green skin/ Blue flame hair), Jealousy, Sibling is royalty/ a ruler (although technically Hades and Zelena are rulers of their respective worlds), holding Hook hostage by mind games, and the list goes on. It is possible that they will use Poseidon or a different Greek god and still do a three brother thing with Hades, Zeus, and whoever, because the story most associated with the firebird has three brothers, so this might all tie together. Interestly the Grimm Brothers version of the firebird story is called The Golden Bird, and that story's text has been used to fill in Henry's storybook. Doubt it. I mean it's bad enough that the sisters don't ever show up. They can just keep it vague or mentioned but not onscreen.

I'll have to read the firebird story, but I doubt that will relate to the Big Three because they sort of have their own original story fighting tyranny of their father.
