| | Deucalion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Deucalion had been forewarned of the flood by his father, Prometheus, the first in a long Near Eastern tradition of more-than-human mediators between Mankind and God. | | | Deucalion and Pyrrha had at least two children, Hellen and Protogenea, and possibly a third, Amphictyon (who is autochthonous in other traditions). | | | Deucalion from Charles Smith, Dictionary of Greek and Roman Biography and Mythology (1867), with source citations and some variants not given here. |

| | Deucalion |
| | In Greek mythology, Deucalion was the son of PROMETHEUS. | | | As they cast the stones behind them, those thrown by Deucalion became men, and those thrown by Pyrrha became women. | | | When the flood waters subsided, an oracle instructed them to re-people the earth by casting the bones of their mother behind them. |

| | When the Flood was over, Deucalion 1 and Pyrrha 1, having come to Mount Parnassus, worshipped the CORYCIAN NYMPHS—deities living in the mountain —, and Themis, the goddess who then kept the oracles. | | | This Flood occurred at the time when Cecrops 1 ruled in Athens, as some say, but others say that Cranaus (his successor) was already king when the Flood took place. | | | Soon Deucalion 1 realized that this restored world was an empty world. |

Having dwelled on the raging of the Flood for many lines, Ovid employs the chiasmus trope to emphasize for his audience the beginning of the world's restoration. | | | Deucalion's exemplary nature is important because the destruction Ovid writes of was brought about by sin and folly; by emphasizing Deucalion's "better," "right" nature, Ovid juxtaposes the failure of the lost race with Deucalion's saved grace. |
