Deucalion and Pyrrha are central figures in a Greek myth about the Great Flood, serving as the sole survivors who repopulated the Earth. Deucalion, son of Prometheus, and Pyrrha, daughter of Pandora, were warned by Prometheus of Zeus’s plan to flood the earth and built an ark to survive. After the floodwaters receded, they consulted the oracle of Themis, who instructed them to cast the “bones of their mother” behind them. Interpreting “mother” as Mother Earth and “bones” as stones, they threw stones, which transformed into men and women, repopulating the world.
