Our Decay - S5-E16

Corrected entry: Hades states that Zeus is his older brother when actually he was the youngest among the first twelve gods. So Hades is older than Zeus. (00:27:55)

Correction: In Greek mythology, yes, but not in Once Upon a Time: The show freely adapts the source material, with numerous drastic changes to the original: The Queen of Hearts is the mother of The Evil Queen from "Snow White" and the Wicked Witch of the West, The Crocodile is the son of Peter Pan, Red Riding Hood and the wolf are one and the same, Peter Pan is a villain, etc.

Not only that, but it comes from the 1997 Disney film "Hercules" in which Zeus is the older brother. Which only compounds the mythology problem since Hercules is the son of Jupiter and Heracles is the son of Zeus. So Disney is just continuing its own mythology story.

Going Home - S3-E11

Other mistake: In the October 2011 flashback, when Mary Margaret gives Henry the storybook for the first time, he opens it to show Pinocchio and Geppetto in an illustration. However, according to 1-20 "The Stranger", Pinocchio's story was not added to the storybook until later after August came to Storybrooke, several months later. This is confirmed in 4-13 "Unforgiven", where Regina and Henry look at the exact same picture, and notice that the paper is different than the rest of the book, because this particular story was added by August. (00:17:00)

Cora: Love is weakness. It feels real now, at the start it always does, but it's an illusion. It fades and then you're left with nothing!

He can sees the future all jumbled up. It is like a puzzle, it is hard to put together, but even when he does put it together it is not set in stone the future can change.
