Deucalion

The son of Prometheus was the Greek equivalent to Noah. When Zeus sent a flood to destroy the evil mankind (of the copper age), Prometheus told the righteous Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha, daughter of Prometheus's brother Epimetheus and Pandora, to save themselves by building an ark.
After sailing for nine days and nights, they landed on Mount Parnassus near Delphi. Deucalion made an offering to Zeus the Saviour, and the god's response was to send Hermes with a promise to make any wish come true.
Deucalion then asked for the earth to be re-populated, and he was told to throw his mother's bones behind him. The couple then took stones and threw them over their shoulders, and the stones became the new human race: Deucalion's stones the men, and Pyrrha's the women. The new race was dark and short where the previous had been tall and blond.
The couple had a son, Hellen, who in turn became the father of Aeolus, Dorus and Xythos, and grandfather of Ion and Achaios. These names all refer to the different Greek tribes, with Hellen - "Greek" - as the ancestor.
