A discussion I hope will give me a little confidence in an idea I want to run with in a future campaign to GM. Making a semi-original setting split up into tales or stories with strong inspiration from fairy tales, and while I'm not intending to base it off Disney (or in some cases use anything exactly)I feel using Greek gods & goddesses works better for deities than Golarion's, and a handful of tales from Greek myth see themselves in the same pile as so-called "fairy tales", so I feel it's justified.
What I want to see a bit of evidence of a likely successful use of this, I'm currently considering what fairy tale characters would pray and pay lip service at least to certain Greek deities, and see if enough examples exist that it has merit.
So far, for myself, examples I could come up with for named characters and their potential greek religion, I've got:
Geppetto: Hephaestus?
Cinderella: Hestia
Aladdin: Hermes? (Patron god of thieves)
Snow White: Aphrodite (or blessed with beauty w/o her knowing)
Evil Queen: Hecate
The Huntsman: Artemis
The Pied Piper: Apollo (music)
Rapunzel's Witch & Captor: Demeter?
