The Greek gods are also a part of the Fawcett Captain Marvel’s background (S for Solomon is the only part of SHAZAM not tied to a Greek character of some sort, mostly gods or the like), but they’ve only rarely been a part of his actual stories (most prominently in the Trials of SHAZAM mini-series in the 2000s).

Why aren’t Norse and Greek pantheons more popular?
