It didn't work like that, However, Homer wrote the Iliad about 750 BC, and Hesiod, one of the more famous theogenists, wrote his some 400 years after that.

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.
It does not, because though the religion of the Greek myths died, the myths and story of those gods and goddesses can not die as it's been written down and preserved in our history today.

Yes. Popular convention is that the foundation stories of Christianity should not be referred to as myths, but that the foundation stories of other religions can be.
