Polytheism is the belief of many gods and monotheism is the belief of one god.
The word monotheism is derived from the Greek monos meaning "single" and theos meaning "god". The English term was first used by Henry More (1614-1687).
Urmonotheismus (German for "primeval monotheism") or primitive monotheism is the hypothesis of a monotheistic Urreligion, from which non-monotheistic religions degenerated and is supported by a number of scholars. Judeo-Christian scripture supports this view. Evolutionary biologists argue for Judeo-Christian scriptures as mythology so dismiss them out-of-hand. They argue preanimism, then animism, totemism, polytheism and finally monotheism developed based on the archeolological evidence; however, the physical evidence does not "prove" that the first modern humans were not monotheists... it's just their best guess after dismissing ancient manuscripts that assert it as myth.
Monotheism means that you believe in one god. Greek mythology has many gods.

You don't have to remember thousands of god's names and their purposes....it's just one God, easy to pray to for anything.
Some advantages of monotheism include a more unified moral code and set of beliefs, a sense of stability and continuity in religious practices, and the potential for greater social cohesion and unity among followers. Additionally, monotheistic religions often emphasize a personal and intimate relationship with the deity, providing comfort and guidance to believers.
