Helena was never really fully developed as a character. Since she was only a faux Wonder Woman needed to replaced GA Wonder Woman as Lyta's mother -- I don't think she's necessary as a character. But yes, bring back Lyta -- especially if we JSA back on Earth 2 after Dark Crisis. Power Girl, Huntress and Fury as the second generation of the Golden Age trio -- should always have a place (somewhere) in the DCU.
Also, I'd be fine with retconning her backstory so that Lyta Hall in Sandman is a different character than Lyta Trevor.

In classical mythology she has relationships (Odysseus being one partner) and children, but I don’t recall DC mythology ever touching on her relationships or children or any surviving lineage.
I have story in mind that explores what Circe has been like over the eons that includes Diana, Etta, Steve and two of her other villains.
I was never sure how strong either Fury should be and if they have other powers like flight, speed, endurance, durability, etc.
Do either have any godly blessings?

Hmmm the DC writers have used Aeaea, but while they have various minions of Circe there... not directly derived from myths form what I've seen.
I'd personally write a story with her daughter Cassiphone.. in part because of the humor of having Cassiphone of Aeaea and Cassandra Sandsmark in the same story amuses me. But also, a demi-goddess over 2000 years old? mmm... Also, I'd write her as a rich socialite. she's had multiple centuries to acquire a massive fortune.... etc. Maybe has a copy of Homer's works transcribed from a version she read when she was a lot younger?
Powers though? My thought was to be powerful enough to actually give WW a good fight. Obviously a hefty a mount of strength, but I figured hydrokinesis, and precognition would be a neat powerset. The precognition though is her seeing glimpses of the future, that aren't really... "everything'. Also since the two powers are tied together she needs to use a surface made of water as a viewing screen when looking into the future. Stuff like tea works though. And.. when she's reading the future.... no one around her sees it. If she looks at a puddle and uses it to foresee that Diana of Themiscyra will be visiting her in 15 minutes... bystanders will just see her gazing at a puddle.
But yeah, while she knows magic, she's just not as good at general magic as her mother.
If a form of Lyta Trevor makes her way back to us, I’d like see them make her powerful from the union of Steve/human and Diana/Amazon/demigod, similar to how they sometimes say Jon Kent is more powerful because he’s Kryptonian and human.
For Helena as Fury, I’m good with her being somewhere in the same class as all the other powerful/brute force characters.
As big as the Batman family is -- and continues to grow, it only makes sense for DC to mine the past to expand WW's family. I think there is definitely a place for both Helena and Lyta, but I'd prefer Lyta to be the daughter of the original/Earth 2 Wonder Woman.
Yeah, I mean we have Helena Bertinelli and Helena Wayne Huntresses so why not two different Fury's.
