In this passage, think the important thing is not that any of correspondences we notice are exhaustive (for who could exhaust the aspects of the gods?) but rather that these associations give us mortals some limited purchase on how the functions of the cosmic gods become manifest in the natural world.

We could also relate this back to Timaues in which the Demiurge (perhaps deemed "hypercosmic") gives rise to another class of gods that bring order the material world ("cosmic").
