In Greek mythology, Pyrrha is Pandora’s daughter and the mother of the Greek people after the great flood.
Pyrrha is the daughter of Pandora and Epimetheus in later mythographic tradition. She marries Deucalion, the son of Prometheus, and survives a catastrophic flood sent by Zeus to destroy a corrupt human race. After the waters recede, the couple consults the goddess Themis about restoring humanity.
Themis tells them to throw the bones of their mother behind them. They interpret “mother” as Earth, and the stones they cast become people: stones thrown by Deucalion become men, while those thrown by Pyrrha become women. This story makes Pyrrha a central figure in Greek origin mythology.
The flood narrative is distinct from Hesiod’s main Pandora episode, although later writers connect the family lines. Pyrrha is therefore not Pandora herself, but her daughter and a survivor of the next generation’s flood story.
