36. Deuualiou and Pvrrha ___--- 



In fabulous history, Deucalion, fitther of Hellen, ancestor of tlie Hellenes, was 

 the son of Prometheus and Pandora. In his time was the celebrated flood — 

 the deluge of Deucalion, 16th century B.t'.. — which is thus described in the 

 fable: — "Jupiter, determining to destroy mankind by water, on account of 

 their impiety, brought a flood upon the earth by means of a violent rain." 

 Deucalion saved himself and his wife Pyrrha on top of Mount Parnassus. 

 After the flood had subsided tliey consulted the oracle of Theuiis to know what 

 they must do to repair the loss of mankind, and were directed to throw behind 

 them the bones of their mother ; understanding their mother to signify the 

 earth, and her bones the stones, they did as the oracle directed. The .stones 

 thrown by Deucalion became men and those thrown by Pyrrha women, and so 

 the earth was re-peopled. There are many circumstances narrated in the fable 

 which bear a resemblance to the account in the Scriptures of the Deluge.
