Anonymous fiction from oral tradition that presents or explains the supernatural is called a what?

Explanation:
Think of a story that comes from ancient oral traditions and often involves gods, spirits, or magical events used to explain how the world works. That is a myth: anonymous, passed down by mouth, and focused on supernatural explanations or origins. A fable is a short tale with a moral, usually with animals; a pastoral centers on an idealized rural life; Beat Poetry refers to a mid-20th-century literary movement. So the described narrative fits a myth best.
