There are some websites comparing the JLA to the greek gods. Was that DC's intention to create all their characters after greek gods, or is that just some people's comparision? I know Jay Garrick's creation was influenced by Mercury, not sure about the others though.
Is the JLA intentionally modeled after Greek gods?
Not the JLA'a individual characters specifically (the 7 everyone associates with the JLA). Some characters in DC, like in Marvel burrow from various mythologies though. There have been Justice League writers however like Morrison (who famously) took the league and purposely played up the similarities to Grecian mythology. IIRC his table was:
Superman-Zeus
Wonder Woman-Hera
Green Lantern-Apollo
Aquaman-Poseidon
Steel-Haphestus
Flash-Hermes
Batman-Hades
@sovereign91001: why is Batman Hades? Everyone hates Hades
