Greek myths are definitely around, but like they said, it's better to choose a character who isn't a god. After all, gods and goddesses are immortal, so they don't need divine successors. Heck, the primordial gods like Gaia and Nyx are still alive and kicking.

Also note that Greek myths are not "Greek fairy tales" - mythology is a separate thing from fairy tales. Actual Greek fairy tales, like How the Dragon was Tricked and The Sunchild, originate in modern Greece ("modern" being a relative term in this case - basically, by the time these stories popped up, Greeks were practicing Orthodox Christianity and no longer worshipped the Greek gods).
