Just as there are folks who, once we got into space, said, there, look, there is no heaven out there, so too, the Mt. Olympus, being the "highest" point and "unreachable" for the Greeks is an an analogy for a place that is not humanly reachable and unseen.
So, all the flat earthers who say, oh, we climbed Mt. Olympus and there are no Gods there, what about your heaven?
So, we move on after this futile attempt. Proving any Gods is a tough act to do. We know for ourselves that we have met and/or communed with our Deities, but to prove it to someone else?
Spirituality is based on personal experience. Your experience with your Gods is more important that what we can, or can not, prove. And it is all that matters.
So, the Greek Gods live on Mt. Olympus, the God of the Christians lives in heaven, and no more than a polytheist like myself can ever prove to a monotheist that the Gods do reside in Mt. Olympus, can they prove the Greek Gods do not exist.

Actually, the Greeks believed the gods lived on Mount Olympus. As this mountain has been climbed and there were no divine beings there, I guess the Greeks got that wrong. Probably means they got it all wrong.
Sorry, I'm an agnostic, so does that make me a monotheist or a polytheist as I can't prove the existence or non-existence of lots of gods as easily as I can one?

Actually, if you look, you'll find that gods from quite a few pantheons show up as angels and devils in Christian mythology, after the Roman Church lost access to older documents and incorporated the Zoroastrian dualism to create a "Devil."

I guess its by sure chance that the majority of the world believes in one God and not Greek gods, Egyptian gods, etc. But you can go that route, see where it takes you.

Have you heard of something called reason?
If there were more than one god, this would be a very wacky universe.
But interestingly enough, everything revolves either around its self or around another.
Atoms, electrons, planet, suns, galaxies. ..the list goes on.

You can't prove the non-existence of something, unless you know everything.

All you have to do is look at the creation and it's so obvious that everything was created by Zeus.

You can't prove a negative, so No.
