The Jewish God FORBIDS other Gods to the point of death.
This is called 'Monotheism' - literally 'one godism' - something completely alien to paganism.
That the Greek gods were seen to have all the human vices and virtues [such as 'envy' - which was a Greek virtue, nuanced from 'jealousy'] and were perpetually in a conflict/agon, - which was enjoyed and affirmed for its own sake, - does not make any point of comparison with the dour and terrifying atmosphere of the Bible and the Koran.
Zeus is quite able to co-exist with Dionysos - it is Jehovah who brooks no competition, and is the father of all intolerance.
Moses as the inventor of Jihad, Abraham as the first Hollywood .
