Back in Acient Greece these myths were thought to be true, to explain things that could not be explained. They are also life lessons.
Ex: Apollo's sister Artemis was in love with a human. Apollo didn't approve so he challenged her to an Archery contest. Being the Goddess of Hunting Artemis couldn't refuse. So they both shot at a target, moving farther and farther away. Apollo purposely misses the target. Artemis knew she could hit the target and she did. The target ended up being her boyfriend. Artemis was filled with grief and decided to put her once love into the sky as stars along with his dog. The stars, as you may know, are called Orion and Sirius. The moral of the story? Do not be blinded by pride, or don't let your pride blind you.
I hope this helps you understand more.

When were the Greek myths recorded who were some people that recorded them did they believe in the myths?
There are many written accounts of the myths, but one of the oldest and most well-known is the Theogony written by Heroditus in 7th or 8th century BC. It was from here that we know of the Titanomachy and the Gigantomachy, wars fought between the Olympians and the Titans and Giants.
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.
