Actually she is... According to Wikipedia that is (not the most reliable source of information, but still).

I quote: "Meg is loosely based on the mythological Megara, first wife of Hercules in mythology, with undertones from another mythological figure, Deianira, who in Greek mythology was the third wife of Hercules."

And when I link through, I even see that she might be reason Hercules/Herakles performed his twelve labors.

But when it comes to mythology, this movie completely destroyed it. For starters it's Herakles. Hercules was the roman counterpart. Hera is not Herakles' mother, as Herakles was born from a human mother, although Zeus was his daddy. And Hades is as far as I know not even a bad god, and doesn't even look like how he's depiticted in the movie. So why would we care if Megara actually existed in the original myth or not? (although she did).
