I've been looking at the issues where Thor first met Hercules and I think I figured it out. Chronologically, they first encountered each other in Avengers #10 (1964), but that was retconned into the Space Phantoms in Avengers Forever #8 (1994). That leaves Thor Annual 1 (1965) which I think was going to be an imaginary story until it was made "real" in Journey Into Mystery #125 (1965). The problem is Thor Annual 5 (1966) when the Olympians and Asgardians clash over worship rights - probably around 390 BC when Germanic tribes started invading the Roman Empire. This would then be their first meeting as rivals, but then they must not recognize each other by Thor Annual 1 (1965) for that account to be relevant. I can only guess that they just don't recognize each other or Thor lost his memories of the incident because of a cycle of Ragnarok occurring in between. There was a Ragnarok around 1 AD mentioned in Thor #293 that would suggest this. Does anyone have anything other to add?
