Greek mythology has had influence on the culture, the arts, the literature and remains part of Western heritage and language.
For the Ancient Greeks, their religion (what we call Greek Mythology) was everything. Their dad-to-day lives were focused on and pretty much revolved around their religion. Their religion was a life-style for them, centered on the gods they worshipped.

The Greeks would pray to Hestia for protection of their homes from theft and accidents. Some women also prayed whenever they could to keep their families from daily struggles or upcoming difficulties. They believed thes prayers would help them from tragedies that could happen in their families lives. It was also said that Hestia was very faithful to her worshipers and cared for them like they were her own children.♥
The upper classes of Ancient Greeks studied, held feasts, wrote, attended theatrical productions, and engaged in public debates and oration. They led complex and multi-faceted lives.
The Greeks believed in Mythology because they needed to find closure in there daily lives. Back then people had a lot of questions about the universe, so they made this up to just find routine through the days to come.

I don't know about in modern times, but in Ancient times, virtually all Greeks believed in their gods, which we call Greek Mythology. For the Greeks, their religion was much more important in their lives than religion is for many people today. In fact, their religion was a lifestyle for them. As for modern days, I'm hazarding the guess that there are a lot less people who are greek or live in Greece that believe in ancient Greek Mythology. Hope I helped! :)

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).
