What we call Greek myths is the ancient Greek religion. They believed in their gods as seriously as people today believe in the Christan god, or Allah, or the god(s) of other religions. Religious stories we do not believe in we call myths. Roman mythology and Norse mythology are other examples of religions we do not believe in any more.
the greeks invented myths to explain natural events that occured like valcano eruptions(mostly believed because of hephaestus, god of blacksmith), earthquakes and hurracanes(poseidon, god of the sea) etc etc...
It is important to remember that what we see as "Greek mythology" was a religion to them. They viewed the stories as factual, or at the very least allegorical, much the way Christians view The Bible and the stories contained in it.
The thing that we call Greek myths were their religion, things happened to them that they wanted to justify, but they didn't know how to justify, so they came up with the Greek Gods we know now. For example, the Ancient Greeks saw war and made a God of War, Ares, to blame it on.
The ancient Greeks existed in the remoteness of time and their knowledge, tho formidable, was likely to be forgotten in the conflagrations to come. They parlayed this knowledge into myths that could be passed from generation to generation. Eventually the original knowledge become a study in symbolism and mythology was the result.
