How did the peloponnesian war affect the city-states of Athens and Sparta?
The geography of Athens and Greece in general strongly affected the development of a city located in Athens:
1) Prime Location: The Greek Mainland (Thrace, Epirus, Boetia, Attica, and the Peloponnesus) is among the most mountainous and hilly land in all of Europe, making land travel between the city-state minimal. However, the area nearly Athens is less mountainous, making it much easier to build a historical city. It had a central position, north of the Peleponnesus and south of Boetia in Attica, which allowed them to easily trade with Corinth and Sparta in the south and Delphi in the north. It was also very close to the natural port of the Piraeus, giving it an outlet to the sea and prime access to the Aegean.
2) Marine Travel and Naval Strength: Most of the city-states were relatively close to the water, especially those found on Crete, Cyprus, the Dodecanese Islands, or Cycladic Islands. Greek city-states favored marine travel which was more reliable and cost-effective than land travel. As a result, many city-states had strong navies as opposed to having strong armies. Athens under Themistocles had the largest navy of any Greek city-state as well as having the vassalage of several Greek island-states.
3) Chronic Disunity: Because of the prevalence of strong navies, the difficulty of land travel, and the presence of many invasion choke-points (the most famous being Thermopylae), the Greek city-states were never completely unified until Alexander the Great conquered them all. (Sparta did defeat Athens in the Peloponnesian War, but only held onto that victory for a very short time. In addition, Sparta never expanded its power into Boetia or over the Cycladic Islands - which would have been the next logical places to expand.)
4) Pastoralism and Fishing: The mountainous terrain made growing crops very difficult. The two crops that the Greeks were able to cultivate were olives and wheat, but wheat was much more difficult to maintain than the olives. This forced Greeks to resort to pastoralism (primarily animal-based agriculture) and they raised goats, sheep, and pigs. As a result, there was a lot of dairy and meat in the Greek diet relative to contemporaneous civilizations (although significantly less than today). In addition, because of the access to the sea, Greek cuisine included vast amounts of shellfish, mollusks, and proper fishes.
The mountains separated the city states, the bays provided fertile land for farming, and the sea provided fishing and trading of sea food.

How did the ancient Greeks and Romans create Greek and Roman mythology?
That's a bit of a loaded question, really. Like most ancient religions, the Greeks used religion not only to explain their environment, but also to propagate their language and culture. Most of the names of the gods and goddesses actually MEAN what they represent. Perhaps that goes without saying, but that gives a new meaning to many myths. For example, at face value, the myth of Apollo and Daphne is about the dangers of unrequited love and explains why the Laurel Tree was favored by Apollo. The truth of it is that Apollo represents the sun, and Daphne the dew, and explains why dew disappears when the sun rises. All of that is because of the meanings of the names, not just the story itself. The Etruscans and Latins (from whom the Romans derived their parts of 'Greco-Roman' mythology), did similar things. In fact, their names derive from the same sources at their Greek counterparts. Jupiter, for instance, is a corruption of "Jove Pater" (Father Jove), and Jove (which is Iovus - YO-wus - in Latin), has the same prehistoric root as the Greek name Zeus (DZOOS). And they both share a root for the Latin and Greek words for "god" ("deus" and "theos" respectively). So you see, it's not just about coming up with stories, it's about explaining how the world is the way it is, and why certain things are the way they are. They also used it to subjugate other cultural ideals. The Greek myths about Theseus and Minos were skewed from the stories because the stories we have were told by the Athenians. The Minoan versions would have, no doubt, been very different.
