In Greek mythology, Pyrrha is Pandora’s daughter in traditions that connect Pandora and Epimetheus with the generation before the great flood. Pyrrha becomes the wife of Deucalion, the son of Prometheus, and the pair survives Zeus’s flood.
After the waters recede, Deucalion and Pyrrha receive instructions involving stones thrown behind them. The stones become people, allowing humanity to be renewed. This makes Pyrrha an important link between the Pandora story and Greek flood mythology.
The genealogy varies among ancient sources and later summaries, so it is important to state the tradition precisely. Pyrrha is commonly identified as the daughter of Epimetheus and Pandora, while Deucalion is commonly identified as the son of Prometheus. This family arrangement also makes the flood survivors descendants of the two brothers central to Pandora’s story.
