Pyrrha [r]: From Greek mythology, she was the wife of Deucalion who, after the Great Flood, repopulated the world with humans not by sex but by throwing stones over her shoulder along with her husband, Deucalion, according to Elizabeth Vandiver, Classics scholar and authority on Greek mythology and Greek tragedy including the Iliad, Odyssey, Aeneid, Homer, and Virgil.
