In the Greek flood myth linked to Pandora, who was Pyrrha’s husband?

In the Greek flood myth linked to Pandora, Pyrrha’s husband was Deucalion. Together, Deucalion and Pyrrha survive Zeus’s flood and become the ancestors of a renewed human race.

Deucalion is the son of Prometheus in the standard mythological genealogy. Pyrrha is the daughter of Epimetheus and Pandora, which makes their marriage a direct link between the Pandora narrative and the later flood story.

When the flood ends, the couple consult the goddess Themis. They are told to throw the “bones of their mother” behind them; they understand this as stones from Earth. Deucalion’s stones become men, and Pyrrha’s become women.

This story appears in several classical sources and later summaries, with differences in detail. The flood episode is not part of Hesiod’s main account of Pandora’s creation, but later Greek tradition places the stories in the same mythic family tree.
