Pyrrha was Pandora’s daughter in Greek traditions that connect Pandora’s family with the next generation of humanity. She is best known as the wife of Deucalion, the son of Prometheus.
Greek myths vary in their genealogies, and Pandora is not given exactly the same family role in every ancient source. In traditions associated with the flood myth, however, Pyrrha and Deucalion survive a devastating flood and help repopulate the world by casting stones behind them.
Pyrrha’s story therefore links several major mythic figures: Pandora, Epimetheus, Prometheus, and Deucalion. It also provides a transition from the story of the container to a separate account of human renewal after catastrophe.
This genealogy is easy to confuse with other famous Greek family trees. Pyrrha is not the same figure as Ariadne, Electra, or Andromache, and her most important mythic role is connected with Deucalion’s flood.
