Sorry, Yahweh outdates Zeus. Yahweh was worshipped by the Jews a long time before the Greeks starting worshipping Zeus.

Most people are going to guess Zeus, but the fact is that Yahweh is recorded in some of the oldest written texts known to exist on the entire planet.
Written in an early form of Hebrew called Ugarit, an entire ancient library was uncovered near the town of Ras Shamra, and documents Pre-judaic (before they were Jews) Hebrew beliefs about the Gods (yes they were polytheistic back then). Yahweh is mentioned by name as a son of El, King of the Gods.

Umm you know Zeus had a mother and a father? Cronus and Rhea. And that Zeus and Yahweh are different cultural references?
My point by telling you Zeus had parents is to point out that Zeus was not the beginning of Greek culture God's, his parents were Cronus and Rhea, Cronus being his dad. They themselves were born of Gaia so Gaia is said to be the beginning of Greek God's. Although it is believed that Croesus and Rhea created the earth in a clash.

Historically the idea of Yahweh was first b/c Abraham came before the Greeks really even had much of a presence. Or if you believe that all gods are one, then they "happened" at the same time. Or if you're atheist, neither exist in the first place so it's a mute point.

Zeus - a created god entity. Yahweh - always has been and is without beginning or end. Yahweh - holds all things finite and infinite together. Therefore, neither came first - one is a non-created being - beyond human comprehension - the other is a created god - created by men - finite and only holding the power given it by men.
