Best Answer

Greek and Roman mythology shows us the same thing that Norse and Egyptian mythology shows us: that people found a way to explain how the world functioned way before Judaism, Christianity, Islam and all the other religions came to be. Mythology is a way of explaining how and why everything works - for an example, why there is greed, hatred, depression and all those other things in the world. In Greek mythology, the story is of Pandora and her box.
