It helped the Ancient Greeks explain how and why things happen. For example, when Lightning struck, they knew Zeus was angry (proven wrong now, but that's how they explained it without science). It was also their religion, they prayed to the gods and gave them offerings. It also gave them rules and values to live by.
At the time that it flourished it was not mythology it was a religion or a spiritual belief.
As with all religions it gave people something to explain things they did not understand, something to blame and something to thank.
It was the religion of the ancient Greeks.
One of the purposes of Greek mythology was to explain the world through tale. It explained mountains, rivers, why the sky was still up, and various other phenomenons. (which we take for granted)
There wasn't any particular 'purpose' -- what we call the Greek mythology today was their religion in the Ancient times, and some even now. You might as well ask what the purpose of Christianity is.
To explain why things happen, and happened.
The purpose of Mythology was to explain the world that the Ancient people lived in, it was the only way to explain it.
As with all mythology and religion it is an attempt to explain things which have no rational basis with knowledge available

The ancient Greek myths.
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.
