Well, from what we've been shown we can conclude that after Salem killed him and the kids he became the Hermit and hid himself from the world. But then the four original Maidens helped him live again. They had such a strong impact on him because they reminded him of his daughters, that's why he went so far as to thank them with magic.

Also in Rest and Resolutions Ozcar flat out states "You see, centuries ago, I sacrificed a great deal of magic to four young women, who I hoped would use my gift for good. They were the first Maidens." Basically confirming the fairy tale to be true.

Though it really depends if you're the "ozma always lies, we shouldn't believe anything he says ever" type of person.

But really, having Ozma tell what actually heppened in the show to try to clear up any confusion is the most they can do.
