Yes. Singular. that the main contribution of the Parmenides: the
rise of monotheism and the rise of monism. The idea that there is a
unique reality. That is the motor of the fundamental inquiry. It
has given the modern science, alas, without theology abandoned to
politics.
But there was no "rise of monotheism" following Parmenides.

It rose following the Jews, who insisted that only *their* great-man-
in-the-sky was really real.
Well, it is often said that the christian stole the jewish legend and
the greek theology. Unfortunately, they took as much of Aristotle than
Plato, notably the notion of primitive substance, doubly so for the
catholics.
