Ancient Greeks didn't have lots of science and technology, so they depended on myths too explain how the earth and many natural causes were first formed. These stories used Gods and Goddesses to explain how things were created, almost how like in The Bible, the first "story" is how God separated sky and earth, and created water, etc.

Hope that this helped!

They are told to explain the world around them before they had advanced science.

You have to remember this was the religion of the Greek people. These stories were as important to them as the Bible or Qur'an is to us.
