I don't really know, but a long time ago it was created by man to explain the weird things that they couldn't explain, i.e. thunder and lightning (What Zeus did when he was angry), storms, mountains, etc., so I guess its not really essential for us to know, it just helped with the explaining to the "weird happenings" that they could not explain.
It is when some thing is not explainable in a sort of way so they create a myth to explain in a more convincing on how a event had happened so the others would believe you.
