because they believed that what they did affected how the gods would react like if it was sunny outside they assumed they made the gods happy and if it was raining they thought they had made the gods mad

In those old times noone really knew how the earth the earth functioned. Certain things that couldn't be explained logically at that time were explain by supernatural. It was believed that some people had heard of certain gods ect. from other corners of the globe and started to believe too. Some gods were changed to suit the Greek and Romans view of things and so began to worship. They thought if they worshipped their gods good would come. For example. If they offered a cow to the temple of Poseidon, sailors would have a safe journey.
