In Greek mythology, Pandora’s grandson through Pyrrha was Hellen. Hellen was the son of Deucalion and Pyrrha, who were traditionally presented as survivors of Zeus’s flood and founders of the renewed human race.
Hellen became the mythic ancestor of the Hellenes, the Greeks. Ancient genealogies assign him three sons—Aeolus, Dorus, and Xuthus. Through these descendants, mythographers connected major Greek tribal identities to a single ancestral figure. Xuthus was said to father Ion and Achaeus, while Aeolus and Dorus were linked with the Aeolians and Dorians.
The name Hellen is related to the ancient Greek self-designation Hellenes, although the myth is genealogical rather than a modern historical account. This makes Hellen a later-generation connection to Pandora: Pandora’s daughter was Pyrrha, Pyrrha’s son was Hellen, and Hellen’s descendants were used to explain Greek origins.
