In the old days, before any books, there were people so bored they took to making shit up, claiming the existence of supernatural deities watching over them. Whether or not these deities are real or not, they became legend or myth, and as these legends passed down from person to person as either stories or religion, it gave birth to the fantasy genre we all knew and love. Of course, myth differs from countries to countries.
Connection with Fantasy Genre
As you can see, many an author took interest at the old legend and decided to include its elements in their own stories. Notably, Tolken took many elements from the Norse and Germanic Mythologies and popularized the concept of fantasy races like Dwarfs and Elves.
Mythologies
Greek Mythology
There's a god for every aspect like smithing, governing and war. The most important gods/goddess you need to know are Zeus the guy with the lightning power who is the god of all gods; Athena, goddess of wisdom and war born from Zeus having a massive headache; Hades the god of greek hell/underworld and Zeus' brother; Poseidon the god of sea and Zeus' other brother.
According to greek myth, came from a titan named Gaia is lonely, so she gave birth to another Titans and fucked him to make more babies. Cronus, the last of those giants, fears that he might be killed by his son one day so he ate each one of them as a new one is born from his wife Rhea, but Rhea hide Zeus and fooled Cronus with a rock to his belly. Zeus then grown up and killed his father, saving all his brother inside his father's belly and start a war that will exterminate all titans. After all titans are dead, Zeus formed a government with the rest of his gods while living a comfy hedonist life where he raped many mortal girls and had many bastard sons for the lulz.
Interestingly, Eldar and Elves of the warhammer deities and their background stories took a lot of element from Greek mythology.
Norse Mythology
Like the greeks ironically there's a god for every aspect and their most hated enemies are tower tall humanoid creature who the gods/goddess also related to, but was called frost giants instead of titans, but with a lot more references to snow, winter and wolves.
Basically at the early world's life cycle, there were these frost giants and they were sweats born from the armpit of Ymir, the first of giants. The said giant was born from ice and so was a giant cow. Then that giant cow accidentally created a god by just licking a salty rock and gave birth to the first god name Burri, who then fucked his waifu Bestla and gave birth to Odin and his brothers. Odin does not like giants since they came out of Ymir's stinking armpits like rats and they eat alot so he and his brother killed Ymir and thus also killed/drowned other giants with its flood of blood. Odin then use Ymir's body to forge a new world. The death of Ymir also brought forth many life form without Odin's touch like the Dwarves, who were basically ymir's corpse maggots.
Then like the Greek gods, Odin formed a government with gods/goddess of each daily life aspect. And then Ragnorok came.
