I think it's because a lot of the non-Disney takes on the European fairy tales are just as softened and prettied up as Disney's are/would be, while most Greek mythology adaptations- even for kids- preserve the original nastiness.
(Though I managed to write a Disney-friendly treatment of the original myth that merely softened a few edges, not bulldozed over them.)
