Greek mythology started when the Ancient Greeks told their young stories about creaters of nature (example: They told their young that the sky moved around the Earth because Apollo pulled it along with his charriot.)

The world wasn't created so much as it sprang into existence out of Chaos. The world was the physical representation of Gaea.

Men were created by Prometheus, a Titan. He and his brother Epimetheus were spared eternity in Tartarus because they didn't fight against Zeus. Epimetheus gave all the good qualities to the animals, so there was nothing left for man. So Promethues made them walk upright, like the gods, and gave them fire.
