Supes took a lot from Maxima. Herc's probably not much stronger then she is...I mean, he got his ass handed to him by Atlas (Ionic Wonder Man kicked his butt, and I'd place WM below Thor level..), and characters Thor's dealt with more handily..
Are you referring to the arc where the Avengers go to Olympus?
If that's the scene, it wasn't just Atlas who attacked Hercules.

When Hercules goes looking for revenge, he admits how Atlas put him in a coma and left him with brain damage. That's some pretty serious damage potential there...
To be fair, Herc knocked around Atlas pretty badly in that story, and Atlas was claiming he was no match for Herc. But Atlas's heart also wasn't into fighting back.
Atlas can be a beast, but a lot of that is usually from either blindsiding his opponent by stepping on them, or poor tactics on his opponents part.
The fight with Wonder Man was a closer fight, and imo more indicative of Atlas's true strength, with Atlas clearly fighting for his life despite claims that he didn't want to fight, and getting the short end.
