First of all both cultures seemingly centered their creation myths around humans/living beings with they way they wrote it. In Norse mythology it was Ymir's murder, performed by Odin and his brothers, that caused the formation of earth. In Greek mythology everything that earth and mankind was created from was either living or personified. These two cultures linked man to the unknown. They used what they already knew to explain something they didn't. This of course if necessary to explain anything, but they used something that struck so close to home that it gave them a stronger foundation to stand upon. Another similarity was how Norse and Greek myths handled fate. The Norse had the Norns and the Greek had the Fates. Both were living entities that choose fate for men and both utilized their to do so.. Linking humans to the unknown and handling fate a certain way were the similarities the Norse and Greek myths were evidently similar to each
