In Yoruba mythology, the creator god known as Olodumare is a central figure who embodies omnipotence and the realization of existence. He is often viewed as the source of all life, governing the universe with supreme authority. Olodumare is not always intervening directly but sets the world in motion, allowing other deities, or Orishas, to interact with creation. This belief illustrates the complex relationship between the creator and the created, emphasizing themes of divinity and human agency.
