> I think that at a minimum, Socrates has discerned that there must be a unity within divinity; how that exactly shakes out, I don’t think Socrates had come to a definite conclusion about.
To me, this is one of the key things that makes monotheism different from polytheism. The polytheist, in projecting aspects of human experience and the world onto "gods," also projects the turmoil that humans experience and observe. The gods sometimes argue and vie for control. The monotheist, especially the monotheist who has reversed the direction from "create gods in humans' image" to "humans are created in God's image," acknowledges the harmony of the Holy Transcendent.
