ahhh, i hate ignorance. who is to say the greek gods don't exist. and who is to say this "one God" does exist. How can you just say that the greeks were wrong and that you are right. there is no proof of either and both were created to explain the unexplainable things that happened on earth.

Both as you are conceiving them are mythic -- so neither. I happen to be Christian, but I am Christian by choice, I don't think its the "one right way" or any other such nonsense. I do think the question itself is implausible -- how do you measure against one another two fictionally presented forces, even if one or both are genuine.
However, for the literalists among us. God failed to defeat the people of the valley, because they had iron (Judges 1 -- approximately verse 19 as I recall) ---- and the Israelites turned away from a city they were sieging after its king gave a human sacrifice (his son) to the city god (Chemosh) because it would give Chemosh more power (2 Kings 3, I believe)-- and God upheld their decision by not punishing them [which he always did if they failed in their faith]. (now as a non-literalist I would say that's because Judaism was still developing out of polytheism, but I suppose the literalists could never take that position).
So biblically, its harder to say. In the Bible God has clear limits. He is not omniscient (all knowing) otherwise he would not have to send angels to find out what is going on [think of the story of Sodom and Gemorrah among others]. He is not all powerful either, otherwise iron could not defeat him...
So maybe either.

The Greek gods don't exist so there wouldn't be anyone for the one and only true God to have a battle with.

there is no such thing as a god
example 1: greek gods are also known as greek mythology or myth
the meaning of myth: An untrue or fictional story/folklore
example 2: god supposedly created the universe in the universe was planet earth with all of its people. now you tell me which 50 billion old person told you that god was real and that he was there, and introduce me to this person and i will become a priest. but until then there is no such thing as a god or god like figure.
and there you have it the truth.

The ancient Greek Gods were constantly on the alert, they were afraid of rebellion from humans, an uprising of the titans, and civil war between each other. That tells me they are VERY vulnerable.

true vs. false
truth always wins
Jehovah is the alpha & Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end. God was there before the greek gods were "made"

The Greek Gods, they have Jupiter the God of all Gods on their side, and there are tons of them. Your God is all alone, a loner has nobody but his servants with him, if they don't do what he wants he throws them in Hell like Lucifer... yeah your God is mean, he can't win.

There would be no Battle. There is only one God. Any representation of it in picture or myth is simply someone's imagination. One can't have a battle between something and nothing.
