Which Roman author recorded Pandora’s daughter as Pyrrha?

Hyginus recorded Pandora’s daughter as Pyrrha.

Gaius Julius Hyginus, a Roman mythographer, preserved a version of the Pandora story in which Pandora and Epimetheus have a daughter named Pyrrha. Pyrrha later becomes central to the Greek flood myth alongside Deucalion, her husband.

In that flood story, Zeus destroys much of humanity with a great flood, while Deucalion and Pyrrha survive. Afterward, they throw stones behind them, and the stones become people. This explains the traditional connection between the Greek word for “stone” and the new human race in the myth.

Hyginus’s account is not identical to Hesiod’s earlier Greek poems. Hesiod focuses on Pandora’s creation, her marriage to Epimetheus, and the release of evils from the jar. Roman mythographers often preserved, combined, or reorganized older Greek traditions, so details can differ between sources.
