Myths were created because humans have always wanted something to be scared of, something that would govern us whether it existed or not. a king or queen good or mean had people to tell his great success in wars or deeds. These stories passed down from generations to generations and became myths

Myths were traditionally told through oral storytelling, where bards, poets, or storytellers would recite stories to an audience. These stories were passed down through generations and often incorporated cultural beliefs, values, and religious teachings. Over time, myths were also recorded in written form, preserving them for future generations.

due to so many people being multy lingual or by lingual it was possible for countries in Europe say for instance to have a story originally in sweedish to easly be heard in sweedisg then translated to German Austrian French Spain ugoslavian this way they could add in say all the sanifigant details and idioms that each language had and translate easly from one language to the next.

What are all the Greek myths and has anyone wrote every Greek myth?

The Greek myths were stories told by the Ancient Greeks made to explain strange events, things in nature, and basically everythingon the Earth. The Greek myths weren't written down until writing in Greece was actually develpoed, and before that, the myths were all told by mouth. That is why there are many different versions of the myths. In books telling about Greek myths, the myths may be written down, but usually not every single Greek myth is in one book, as there are lots of them. I do not think one Ancient Greek man could have known or told every single myth either.
