The Flood
King Deucalion was the son of the Titan Prometheus. He ruled over the men and women of Greece together with Queen Pyrrha, daughter of Pandora and Epimetheus, Prometheus's brother.
People were happy under Deucalion's reign, but problems began to arise. Zeus despised humans. He had already punished them because they acquired fire against his will. His anger grew as he watched their cities grow and come alive. "These humans are becoming too powerful," he thought, "and they believe they are very important."
Zeus sent torrential storms to get rid of humans once and for all.
People prayed and prayed to the gods, but the rain wouldn't stop. Desperate, Deucalion sought his father's advice. "Soon, the earth will begin to flood," Prometheus told his son. "Build a huge wooden ship and fill it with food - but leave enough room for you and Pyrrha. When the water level starts to rise, climb inside and stay there until the rain stops."
