Deluge (mythology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3732 words) |
 | The Ogygian flood (so called because it occurred in the time of Ogyges, founder and king of Thebes.) covered the whole world and was so devastating that the country remained without kings until the reign of Cecrops. |
| Plato's Timaeus (22) refers to the "great deluge of all" and Critias (111-112) refers to the "great destruction of Deucalion." In addition, the texts report that "many great deluges have taken place during the nine thousand years" since Athens and Atlantis were preeminent. |
| Proponents of Flood geology contend that the myths from various cultures are corrupted memories of an historical global deluge. |
