Comments
Conan the Barbarian I#79-81 would indicate that Zeus was not worshipped in the Hyborian Age, since Conan did not recognize his name when descedants of time-travellers mentioned him.
Neptune was worshipped, per Namor I#38, as early as 5800 BCE.

Television
- In The Marvel Super Hero Hour, the character made an appearance in The Mighty Thor segment where it followed the comic storyline. He was portrayed as the father of Hercules and lord of Olympus whose brother Pluto was forced to rule over the netherworld. Through trickery, Pluto had Hercules sign the Olympian Contract that transferred the duty of custodianship of the netherworld to the Prince of Power whereupon he appeared in Olympus to force the terms of the agreement. A saddened Zeus despite the love he had for his son was forced to enforce it and was ready to send Hercules to the netherworld despite his pleas. He did state that Hercules could challenge this decision but would need a champion to fight for him to which the Asgardian Thor agreed to do so as he hated trickery. Ultimately, Thor proved to be successful whereby Pluto relented to returning to rule the netherworld leaving Hercules the Prince of Power free.
