Hercules defeated Geras, if you consider the latter as a primordial. Correct me if I am wrong as the story was pretty vague.

I'm looking through Theoi but I can't seem to find the myth you're referring to.

Anyway, I think Rick Riordan should've put some plot device in place to make the gods less powerful. If Percy Jackson was real, there's no way the gods would be so easily beatable. But that's just my two cents.
