I agree that it is an obvious candidate, but I note that The 300 also has a problem, which is that it sucks.
I actually think that somebody should do an old school comics approach. Hercules (who amusingly has the secret identity of Herakles), etc. were staples of Marvel comics for years. Not as prominent as the Norse gods, who are probably out of scope, but trips to Olympos by groups that in some ways parallel notions of heroism straight from myth... The link between hero teams and concepts like the Argonauts is well-worn. I think there is a parallel sort of thing with Wonder Woman, but I don't know DC well.
