In Greek mythology, Pyrrha is Deucalion’s wife in the flood story linked to Pandora. Deucalion is commonly identified as Pandora and Epimetheus’s son, so Pyrrha becomes part of the next generation of the mythic family.
Zeus sends a devastating flood, and Deucalion and Pyrrha survive by taking refuge in a chest or ark-like vessel. After the flood, an oracle tells them to throw the bones of their mother behind them. They interpret “mother” as Earth and cast stones over their shoulders; the stones become men and women.
The story connects Pandora’s family to a Greek account of renewed humanity, much as flood traditions in other cultures connect survival with a new beginning. Pyrrha should not be confused with Pandora herself: Pandora belongs to the earlier generation, while Pyrrha is Deucalion’s wife and the mother of Hellen in the usual genealogy.
