Pyrrha is Pandora’s daughter in the Greek flood myth connected with Deucalion.
In later Greek mythological genealogies, Pyrrha is identified as the daughter of Epimetheus and Pandora. She marries Deucalion, the son of Prometheus, and the pair survive a catastrophic flood sent by Zeus. Their story is commonly compared with other ancient flood traditions, though its details belong to Greek mythology.
After the flood, Deucalion and Pyrrha consult the goddess Themis about restoring humankind. They are instructed to throw the “bones of their mother” behind them. Interpreting this as the stones of Earth, they throw rocks, which become people: stones cast by Deucalion become men, while those cast by Pyrrha become women.
Pyrrha is therefore linked both to Pandora’s family and to the renewal of humanity. She should not be confused with Pandora herself, or with the many other figures in Greek myth who share names with characters from later heroic stories.
