Though one has moral values, advertising is promoted in such a way that those highly prized morals and values begin to weaken the other side of our nature.Consequently the desire for want takes over that which we had held in check for so long. Advertising promotes in us the lesser value of "I must have" rather than "I can do without".

Though our high standards have stood us in good stead for so long, there is also the other side of us which asks "I wonder what it would be like?". There are none that I know that have not succumbed to this temptation at some time in their lives.

It is a case of "It will not hurt just this once".

How do religions teach moral values?

Most religions teach morals through the use of stories and anecdotes. For example, the Bible is full of stories that try to teach us to act a certain way. Each story has moral to it. They also try to teach us moral values through strict rules, like the 10 commandments. If you don't follow the rules, you may be punished in the afterlife, so fear is also used to help enforce the morals they teach.

It wasn't meant to teach us anything. Greek myths didn't have morals built into them. The message of that story was one of Athens' superiority over Crete. The Minoans were depicted as wicked, lustful and evil, while the Athenians as noble, helpful, and heroic. I think that's clear enough.
