It's definitely been thousands of years, not hundreds, considering Glynda told Pyrrha that the Maidens have existed for thousands of years. I think what EmBELLEm meant was that it hadn't yet been that long when he gave those girls magical powers.

And while it is a fairy tale, we've been told that many fairy tales in their world are actually real, and the stories were derived from actual events. So the story about the Maidens did happen, but you're right that there may be details that have been left out.
