In times before we had scientific explanations to natural phenomena, people sought an explanation and other people invented myths to explain them.

This was not of course complete, and people today still give religious answers to matters which can plainly be observed as having secular answers.
When the Greeks and early Latin people began to interact and trade, they noticed many similarities in their religions. Rome's beginnings were in Greek colony and Trojan resettlement. It's obvious that they combined the two religions, applying Latin names to the Greek myths as appropriate. There are, however, still many differences, and some myths are uniquely Greek or Roman.
