But Zeus's strength is from magic, as Gods or Demigods they have magic running through them, which is what allows their strength to be so high.

Magical or not though, he holds up the sky and the heavens day after day, hour after hour, second after second, yes Hercules or Zeus could probably do the same, for a while, because Thor has lifted planets so Hercules should be able to do the same.

I don't know, Atlas should be stronger than anyone else... he is Atlas for a reason.
