JSJr did not exclude Jesus (jehovah) from being a god, but JSJr did preach that there are other gods. Elohim, for example. JSJr also preached that we may become gods like elohim and jehovah.

LDS scripture includes the Egyptian god Annubis in the Facsimiles to BoAbr. Do Mormons embrace the Annubis as a god in the shape of a man with a dog's head? If not, why is a pictograph of Annubis (with a human head drawn in) in the Mormon canon?

Did JSJr dismiss the Greek mythology gods as not existing, or did he include those in his polytheism as well?

Perhaps we shall never know. This is likely one of the most important questions of all time. What if JSJr had a vision of glorious Mt Olympus and its divine family? What if he accidentally associated his Greek visions with Christian views? His religious science was not exact. Christian revival was on every American's mind in the early 1800's. How frustrating it must have been for the gods of the east to see all their efforts at communicating with their new prophet be tainted and morphed into the Pagan religion of Constantine the Great.

He didn't include them which means LDS are not polytheistic or even henotheistic in the original sense of those words. The only other Gods that exist are other exalted men and with them, we have nothing to do 1 Corinthians 8:4-6.
