For sure the Dodekatheist community is too weak, they can't turn against the Orthodox church. But this doesn't means they must not be considerable.
They were always doing ceremonies at Olympos, but after the court's decision they are just going to free more free.
I thought the topic were the Olympian gods
.
Does Greek Mythology believe in One God?
Coz Hinduism also has polytheism but the ultimate Hindu Rule is they all are forms of THE ONE GOD. Do Greek culture or mythology states this anywhere?
Just curious...

Well, certainly some of the old Greeks might have believed that one (namely "their/"her"/"his") god was better than the other but ONE God ... ?
The Olympians are twelfe Gods who came to rule, after they overthrew the Titans. And all those twelve Gods are related in some way (e.g. Hades is a brother Zeus [the only one I'm sure out of memory]).
Zeus-Pluton-Poseidon : Brothers (representatives of the three worlds)
Demetra and Hestia: Sisters of the first three.
Hera: Legal wife of Zeus
Athena: Asexual daughter of Zeus.
Aphrodite: Asexual daughter of Poseidon.
Ares and Hephaestos: Sons of Zeus and Hera.
Artemis and Apollon: Children of Zeus with Leto.
Hermes: Son of Zeus with Maea.
They are other gods, however outside the Olympian pantheon.
Most of the persons have/had a specific god to worship and pray to, as Walter mentioned. They did not mentioned the other gods often, there was not the "ONE GOD" like in Hinduism. However, before the appearance of the Olympian gods most of the Greeks were worshiping the supreme GODESS, Gaia.
