Greek myth gets used a lot but few adaptations are particularly popular. Wonder Woman actually has very little competition in that regard. Just because it's public domain doesn't mean it can't be iconic in its own right. See Castlevania.
What popular shows? Super Friends? Cheetah and Giganta also appear in it, and though they might be visually iconic, they aren't referenced in pop culture.

Greek Myth has countless blockbusters released almost every year. Clash of the Titans, Percy Jackson, God of War games, Disney's Hercules movie and animated show, countless other animated kids shows, other video game franchises like Assassins Creed. There's no comparison. Wonder Woman is competing with all those things, and the worst part is that those things make her seem less unique. Ares and even Circe are villains in countless stories and movies and shows and games, whereas Joker and Luthor only appear on DC franchises. If Diana was uniquely about celtic mythology it might actually pass, but with greek culture the more dependent she is on it the less of an identity she has.
