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.

People invented myths for many reasons. Some times they were used to explain things we couldn't understand. For example: people in the times of ancient Greece did not know what caused a whirlpool that was located in the mediteranian. They created the myth of Charybdis, a monster that lives underwater, sucking in water to get food. Other times myths were created just for entertainment.
