It was connected to the lives of the early Greeks because that's what they believed, and that's what they lived by, and who they sacrificed to. The early Greeks be lived in gods and goddesses, and so, for instance, if they wanted to have a good harvest, they would have sacrificed to Demeter, goddess of Harvest, and they also would have sacrificed to Gaea, goddess of Earth (or more matter of fact, Gaea WAS earth).
Most greek gods were born in Olympus. The first greek gods were the sons and daughters of Kronos and Gaea.
In Greek mythology, Gaea was the Earth goddess, the personification of the planet Earth as a goddess. Today, this is often used as a metaphor for the global ecosystem.
According to their mythology, There was first chaos. Then came Uranus and Gaea. They parented the titans. The titans parented the olympians.
