Considering that a lot of DC has elements from the Greeks (Amazons, Atlanteans, etc) its a pretty good guess.

Ares would make the most sense. If they're going for the gods that are percieved as evil then Hades is also a possibility.

I'd like to point out though, that Greek mythology never has the characters as good or evil. Hades and Ares are usually seen as evil because they're gods of the underworld and war. But in stories you see that Hades was no better than Zeus in terms of average ethics, He just got the crappy side of the stick.

Sure the whole "convincing Zeus to release the krakken so that he could rule" was a bit much but wouldn't you? You live in the dark place that smells like mutilated bodies while brother over there sits on his throne with a hot wife and hundreds of hot mistresses.
