If, almost everywhere in the world, the mythologies of the Supreme Beings are not as rich as the mythologies of the other types of divine figures, it is not because such Supreme Beings belong to a premythological epoch, but simply because their activity is somehow exhausted in the works that they do in the beginning, i.e., cosmogony, the creation of man, and the foundation of the principal religious and social institutions.
