Overall, this was a fantastic episode, and my personal favorite of mine (I"m a sucker for a good lore episode).

We now know that Salem's motivation is to spite the Brother Gods for not bringing back Ozma and her curse. My guess to her ultimate goal is to summon the Brothers to destroy them once and for all, though we'll need to wait and see.

The Brother Gods' actions seem very Greek to me. (Just some examples: Athena turning Medusa in a gorgon after having sex in one of her temples; Psyche going through various impossible trials because Aphrodite thinks Psyche is more beautiful than her; Hera attempting to kill Heracles because he's Zeus's illegitimate child; Hera curses Echo for playing wingwoman to Zeus; Nemesis gets Narcissus to look at his own reflection for being a heartbreaker.) Though, I do question where humanity came from, if this is similar to Vol.5, where supposedly all of the Huntsman in Mistral are dead, or if humanity came back through evolution. Also, I really do hope we find out where the Faunus originally came from.

I also don't think that Salem and Oz 2.0's kids were the original maidens, more like precursors. Given that one of Ozma's reincarnations looks similar to the hermit from The Four Maiden, and is shown to be next in line, it's a possibly. Though, again, we'll have to wait and see. Plus I do want to point out that we may have our Dorothy, as the daughter in green just so happens to have a plush dog that looks like Toto.
