Climate Crisis, But Make it Ancient… Deucalion, Pyrrha, and the Great Deluge

Which ancient civilization *didn't* have a flood myth, that's the real question! It's time for the full story of the flood myth of the ancient Greeks, the Great Deluge and Deucalion and Pyrrha.

CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.

Sources: Theoi.com for varied sources and versions; Ovid's Metamorphoses translated by Allen Mandelbaum for the extensively detailed story.
