They lived so close together that frequent communication led to the myths merging. Romans adopted Greek myths and vice versa. Gods and other mythological characters did keep different names in Latin and Greek.

Why did acient Greeks and Romans use myths?

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.)
