Atlas is Greek, but he is not a god. He is a Titan.
Which Greek god is more powerful Hercules or Atlas?
Atlas is a god he was one of the first Greek gods. The Olympian Gods dethroned the "Titans". (Which Atlas was one of the Titans.) He received the most harsh punishment of all the Titans, carrying the heavens on his back and bearing the weight forever, given to him by the King of the gods Zeus. But Hercules (or Heracles) is not a god. His Father is Zeus but his mother is mortal. To answer your question..... Hercules was able to hold the heavens on his shoulders just as well as Atlas, and Hercules did more things that proved his strength (like killing the Lion of Nemea) than Atlas did. Atlas on the other hand never had any real amazing stories just that he held up the heavens. So based on the facts of mythology Hercules seems much more powerful just not a god.
