Myths were used, not only by the Greeks and Romans, to explain that which could not be explained at the time. For example, they could not explain why natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and such happened so they explained it by attributing these things to a higher power, the gods, saying that the god so-and-so was upset for this such reason. (Myths were used to explain more than just natural disasters, mind you.)
In the Greek myths there was no great variey. Most common were bows and arrows. Though most gods had bows, some gods had a lance or spear. Poseidon had his trident, Zeus a bunch of lightnings. Hercules had a big sword.
In ancient Greek myths the gods would smite those who displeased them.
they danced in certain ways to praise the gods that they believed in.
