Why was Greek Mythology so important to Ancient Greek Lives?

A lot of people might wonder why Greek Mythology was so important to Ancient Greek lives. There are multiple reasons why. It answered a lot of big questions such as why are there volcanoes eruptions, etc. Another reason is it gave the Greeks something the believe in. The last reason is its just plain interesting and fun to learn about.
Greek Mythology was very important in Ancient Greeks lives because unlike modern day times nobody knew why there were natural disasters, why the seasoned changed, how everything on earth got to how it was. These big questions were answered by Greek mythology. This fact in my opinion is the biggest reason why Greek Mythology.
Greek Mythology is also very important to the Ancient Greeks because it gives them something to believe in. Every religion believes in something. Christianity believes in one god. The Indians believed in many gods. And the Greeks believed in many gods. In every one of those religions their god or gods are very important to them. Even though they may seem unreal they still worship them and give thanks to them.
Another reason why Greek Mythology was so important was because it was interesting. It gave the Ancient Greeks great stories to tell or something that their parents could talk about to them. In modern time it's like fairies and mermaids. Some people in modern times are interested in fairies and mermaids. Just like how people in Ancient Greek are interested in Greek Mythology.
As you can see Greek Mythology was very important to the ancient Greeks.
