We human beings generally feel the need to take action to solve our problems. However, we don't always know how. So, the ancient Greeks had problems. They suffered from diseases that they did not know how to cure, crop failures, bad weather, ships lost at sea, invasions from Asian Minor (now known as Turkey), and many other problems, and they didn't know very much about what caused these problems or how to solve them.

It was a pretty desperate strategy given that they had no real evidence that such beings existed.
