Pyrrha 1, daughter of Epimetheus and Pandora 1, is called the first mortal born, and the country Thessaly in northern Greece was once called Pyrrhaea after her.
Together with her husband Deucalion 1 she survived the Flood, having children by him when the waters had receded: Amphictyon, Protogenia 1, Orestheus 1, Pandora 2, Thyia 2, and Hellen 1, although this last one is also called son of Zeus and Pyrrha 1 [see Deucalion 1 and Flood] [Apd.1.7.2; Hes.CWE.2.-3; Hyg.Fab.142; Pau.10.38.1; Strab.9.5.23].
Achilles' name while he hid as a maid in the court of Lycomedes 1 [Hyg.Fab.96].
This story was the basis for the Eleusinian Mysteries-initiates into these mysteries believed in a life after death and trusted that their lot in that life would be better because they had taken part in the mysteries.
Deucalion [dou-kay'li-on] or Deukalion, "wet," and Pyrrha [pir'ra], "red-haired."
Deucalion was the son of Prometheus and Pyrrha was the daughter of Epimetheus.
