Best Answer

The Greeks had myths and legends to explain everything. How each city was founded. How people learned to write. Why the sea is salty. How the world began. Why there is both good and evil in the world.

Everything that now we explain with religion, the Greeks explained with fable and myth. And then, as now, most uneducated people believed that the stories were literally true; while a majority of educated people believed that the stories were not exactly true, but contained spiritual truths which needed to be observed.
