Why did the anient Greeks create mythology?

The Greeks and Roman created Greek Mythology because they didn't have scientists or science technology to explain natural phenomenon. For example, they didn't know why volcano's explode like we do- so it is easy for them to say that an angry god that works in the volcano (Hephaestus) got angry and caused the eruption, and than really believe that. Or when we have hurricanes, they just say Poseidon is angry and wants to punish mankind. Greek 'Mythology' was not just stories to them- it was science.
