Question

How were myths and legends used to explain the natural world before science?

Answer 1

Well, one aspect of myths that cannot be denied is that they are ubiquitous across all countries and cultures. Every society has its own form of myths, and interestingly, often these different myths are re-tellings of central archetypal stories that are changed slightly to fit different cultures and experience.

Answer 2

The Greeks were the ones who mostly made up the myths and legends like the Greek gods then the Romans adapted their myths and changed them into their own but the answer is they did not know what to think of the world around them leaving them with the option of them making stories up to explain these things to themselves and their children
