Pyrrha
In Greek mythology, Pyrrha was the daughter of Epimetheus and Pandora and wife of Deucalion.When Zeus decided to end the Bronze Age with the great deluge, Deucalion and his wife, Pyrrha, were the only survivors.  Prometheus told his son, Deucalion, to build an ark and, thus, they survived. During the flood, they landed on Mount Parnassus, the only place spared by the flood.Once the deluge was over and the couple were on land again, Deucalion consulted an oracle of Themis about how to repopulate the earth. He was told to throw the bones of his mother behind his shoulder. Deucalion and Pyrrha understood the "mother" to be Gaia, the mother of all living things, and the "bones" to be rocks. They threw the rocks behind their shoulders, which soon began to lose their hardness and change form. Their mass grew greater, and the beginnings of human form emerged. The parts that were soft and moist became skin, the veins of the rock became people's veins, and the hardest parts of the rocks became bones. The stones thrown by Pyrrha became women; Those thrown by Deucalion became men.

Pyrrha
In der griechischen Mythologie ist Pyrrha ( auch ) die Tochter von Epimetheus und Pandora sowie die Ehefrau des Deukalion.Als Zeus beschloss, das Goldene Zeitalter mit der großen Deukalischen Flut zu beenden, waren Deukalion und Pyrrha die einzigen Überlebenden, denn Prometheus hatte seinem Sohn Deukalion rechtzeitig befohlen, ein Schiff zu bauen.Nachdem die Flut abgelaufen und das Paar auf dem Parnassos gelandet war, befragte Deukalion das Orakel der Themis, was zu tun sei, um die Erde wieder zu bevölkern. Sie sagte ihm, er solle die Knochen seiner Mutter über seine Schultern werfen. Nach einigem Zögern wegen eines solchen Frevels erriet Pyrrha, dass mit der "Mutter" die Gaia, die Erde, als Aller Mutter und mit den Knochen Steine gemeint seien. Also warfen sie Steine über ihre Schultern, aus denen bei Pyrrha Frauen und bei Deukalion Männer wurden.

Deukalion en Pyrrha
Deukalion en Pyrrha zijn een echtpaar uit de Griekse mythologie.Om de mensen te straffen zond Zeus een zondvloed uit over de wereld. Alleen Deukalion (zoon van Prometheus) en Pyrrha (dochter van Epimetheus) bleven in leven. Prometheus had namelijk zijn zoon aangeraden een schip te bouwen. Na de zondvloed kwam het schip terecht op de Parnassus.Omdat ze niet wisten hoe ze de aarde opnieuw moesten bevolken, gingen ze naar het orakel van Themis, dat hen vertelde (zoals Ovidius het in zijn Metamorphoses verwoordde in het Latijn):Mota dea est sortemque dedit: Discedite temploEt velate caput cintasque resolvite vestes.Ossaque post tergum magnae iactate parentis.Obstipuere diu rumpitque silentia voce.Pyrrha prior iussisque deae parere recusat.Detque sibi veniam pavido rogat ore pavetque.Laedere iactatis maternas ossibus umbras.
