Ovid tells the Pandora-like story of Pyrrha in Metamorphoses. His version focuses on Deucalion and Pyrrha, the surviving human couple after a great flood, rather than reproducing Hesiod’s Pandora episode directly.
In Ovid’s narrative, the couple receives an oracle telling them to throw the bones of their mother behind them. They understand “mother” as Earth, and the stones they cast become new people. Pyrrha is therefore part of a creation story that explains the repopulation of humanity after catastrophe.
The connection with Pandora comes from the wider Greek mythic tradition surrounding the origin of human suffering and renewal. Ovid does not simply call Pyrrha Pandora, and the two figures have different roles. Pandora is linked to the release of evils from a vessel; Pyrrha helps restore the human race through stones after the flood.
