No. The blacksmith god Hephaestus was also a god of volcanoes. The greek believed the volcano represented a smith's furnace and when it erupted it was the equivalent to sparks flying when a smith heats heated metal.

Yes, some Greeks in ancient times believed that a volcano eruption was a sign of anger from the gods, particularly the god Hephaestus who was associated with fire and volcanoes. However, not all Greeks held this belief, and some viewed volcanic activity as a natural phenomenon.

Why did the anient Greeks create mythology?

The Greeks and Roman created Greek Mythology because they didn't have scientists or science technology to explain natural phenomenon. For example, they didn't know why volcano's explode like we do- so it is easy for them to say that an angry god that works in the volcano (Hephaestus) got angry and caused the eruption, and than really believe that. Or when we have hurricanes, they just say Poseidon is angry and wants to punish mankind. Greek 'Mythology' was not just stories to them- it was science.
