Their myths (fabricated stories) covered mainly religious stories to explain the unexplainable in a pre-scientific world. They covered historical events with legends (traditional stories held to be true). Such legends formed the basis of such tales as The Iliad which told a much-embellished story of part of the partly historical 10 year looting expedition of Asia Minor culminating in the sack of Troy, which were sung by the strolling bards as they moved around the Greece towns.

What are all the Greek myths and has anyone wrote every Greek myth?
The Greek myths were stories told by the Ancient Greeks made to explain strange events, things in nature, and basically everythingon the Earth. The Greek myths weren't written down until writing in Greece was actually develpoed, and before that, the myths were all told by mouth. That is why there are many different versions of the myths. In books telling about Greek myths, the myths may be written down, but usually not every single Greek myth is in one book, as there are lots of them. I do not think one Ancient Greek man could have known or told every single myth either.
