Plus, the thing about using Hercules is that unlike Zeus, he actually has his own story that they can allude to, which is why they successfully pulled off Moses, Adam and Eve. Sure Adam vs Eve had hardly any references to their tale as opposed to the stereotypical couple, but at least both battles referenced their stories:

"Yo, here's a GPS! Who gets lost for 40 years?"

"You want a bite of my fruit? Well you can swallow the truth!"

Whereas people like Zeus are featured in pretty much every Greek tale, most of which aren't as well-known as the story of Hercules, meaning alot of references that most people might not understand. Sure they've used Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, but they at least have more of a sypnosis than a powerful Godly ruler who sits on a throne atop Mt. Olympus and rules with thunder and lightning.
