Myth exclusively it may actually not be that many. I think there are numerous cases in myth where Greek gods die and not many cases of the main pantheon having decent durability feats. The best one I can think of is Poseidon since his ability to control the oceans and earthquakes would probably be the quickest way to kill everyone on earth.
Zeus: Has so many ways its not even funny. He could instantly strike dead every man, woman and child at once with his lightning bolts. He could blot out the sun with stormclouds till all terrestrial life dies. He could physically destroy the surface with brute force or throw around islands until nothing is left. He could even destroy the world itself with his lightining. Or decree man's fate to go extinct. Or do a repeat and flood the planet. And there's probably a bunch I'm forgetting.
Poseidon: Just shake the Earth till all the humans are dead. Drop mountains on them. Flood the world. Turn all the water into salt water. Physically smash above-water land till everyone's dead.
Hades: Tell Thanatos to kill everyone. Physically murder us all.
Hera: Physically murder us all. Send everyone into violent insanity. Convince Zeus or Ares to kill us all.
Demeter: Stop actively making plants grow so we all stave to death. Or turn us into plants. Or rocks
Hestia: Convince any of the other gods to do it. Turn us into inanimate objects.
Athena: Start a nuclear war, remove our ability to use tools, physically ravage the Earth into uninhabitability, or personally murder every man woman and child.
Ares: Start a nuclear war, drive us all into violent insanity, personally murder us all without us even being able to perceive him. Give us all heart attacks from fear.
Apollo: Create a species-ending plague. Shoot every man to death with invisible intangible arrows. Turn us all into plants.
Artemis: Create a species-ending plague. Shoot every woman to death with invisible intangible arrows. Turn us all into plants or animals. Prevent women from giving birth or causing childbirth to always kill both the mother and child. Cause frost to accumulate on all our crops, killing them and causing a never-ending famine. Send giant invulnerable monsters to kill us all.
Dionysus: Turns us into dolphins. Drives us violently insane. Take control of a single country and lead it to militarily conquer the world.
Hephaestus: Create a world-ending device. Remove our ability to use tools. Set off all the super-volcanos at once.
Aphrodite: Drive us into murderous jealousy, make everyone rape each other to death, convince other gods to kill us all. Inspire us to destroying ourselves in war. Remove love and lust, making birthrates drop like a rock and suicide increase drastically.
Helios: Burn the world to ash. Strike everyone blind.
Selene: Drive everyone violently insane or turn them into animals.
Gaea: Move a bit and accidentally knock over all our cities. Spawn another wave of man-eating monsters that can only be killed by the gods.
Ouranos: Have sex with his wife, crushing everything on the surface in the process.
Nyx: We don't know, but she's stronger than Zeus sooo....
Hecate: Curse us all to death.
Heracles: Personally murder everyone. Throw around mountains till there's enough debris in the atmosphere to cause a nuclear winter. Remove our ability to exert strength.
The Fates: Cause everyone to drop dead.
Probably others I'm forgetting.
