Some examples:

Aphrodite -> Evelynn? Poseidon -> Nami? Ares -> Pantheon Dionysus -> Gragas Hephaestus -> Ornn Athena -> Kalista Artemis -> Kindred

Cerberus (hades' hound) -> Nasus

To be fair, almost all of modern culture takes heavy inspiration from Greek culture.

Among other places, yes, they have drawn inspiration from Greek culture.

Of the ones you listed, I think Ares and Hephaestus are the only ones that you could really argue for. The others vary from "that's a hell of a stretch" to "what the fuck dude".

I'm sure there's more analogies for mythological figures besides the Olympians, but I think most of those fit somewhat.
