In Greek mythology, Pandora’s daughter, born to Epimetheus, was called Pyrrha.
Pyrrha is best known as the wife of Deucalion, the son of the Titan Prometheus. Greek flood myths describe Zeus sending a devastating flood to destroy the Bronze Age of humanity. Deucalion and Pyrrha survived by taking refuge in a chest or ark-like vessel.
After the flood, the couple consulted the goddess Themis about restoring the human race. They interpreted her instruction to throw the “bones of their mother” behind them as a command to cast stones over their shoulders. The stones thrown by Deucalion became men, while those thrown by Pyrrha became women.
Pandora’s family connections vary across ancient sources and later retellings, but Pyrrha’s role as her daughter and as Deucalion’s wife is a standard feature of the Greek mythological genealogy. Pyrrha is also the name of a figure associated with the island of Crete in some traditions.
