In Greek mythology, Pandora’s daughter and the mother of the human race was Pyrrha.
Pyrrha was the daughter of Pandora and Epimetheus in later Greek genealogical traditions. She married Deucalion, the son of Prometheus, and the pair became the principal survivors of the great flood sent by Zeus. After the flood, an oracle instructed them to throw the “bones of their mother” behind them; they understood this as stones from Earth, and the stones became people.
Pandora’s parentage is not presented identically in every ancient source. Hesiod’s Works and Days focuses on Pandora herself and does not develop the full flood genealogy in the same way later mythographers do. This makes Pyrrha a connected figure rather than a character central to the original jar episode.
Pyrrha’s name is also associated with the Greek word for reddish or flame-colored. In myth, her importance comes from preserving humanity with Deucalion after the flood.
