I am confused here, How many times did a god flood the earth?

In Greek mythology, Pyrrha was the daughter of Epimetheus and Pandora and wife of Deucalion.





When Zeus decided to end the Bronze Age with the great deluge, Deucalion and his wife, Pyrrha, were the only survivors. Prometheus told his son, Deucalion, to build an ark and, thus, they survived. During the flood, they landed on Mount Parnassus, the only place spared by the flood.





Once the deluge was over and the couple were on land again, Deucalion consulted an oracle of Themis about how to repopulate the earth. He was told to throw the bones of his mother behind his shoulder. Deucalion and Pyrrha understood the "mother" to be Gaia, the mother of all living things, and the "bones" to be rocks. They threw the rocks behind their shoulders, which soon began to lose their hardness and change form. Their mass grew greater, and the beginnings of human form emerged. The parts that were soft and moist became skin, the veins of the rock became people's veins, and the hardest parts of the rocks became bones. The stones thrown by Pyrrha became women; Those thrown by Deucalion became men.





Deucalion and Pyrrha had at least one son, Hellen, and possibly a second, Amphictyon (who is autochthonous in other traditions).





"Pyrrha" was, possibly, the name used by Achilles while hiding among the king of Skyros' daughters.

Myths are funny aren't they? They get changed, and re-used from era to era and people believe them to be fact.


Yet they ALL have one thing in common; they are fairy tales.


This is just an earlier draft of the Noah myth.
Reply:God never flooded the earth, it was a natural progression.
Reply:Not sure where you got that but it's not entirely true. God flooded the whole earth once. The reason there is that story you have there is because in all religions there is a story about the floof (proven fact). The true version is in the bible.
Reply:Depends on what god you believe in...With most of them, you are told only to believe in one god, so that being the case...only one could have done it?





lol
Reply:sounds like just the once there





edit


is it really fair to call this mythology ?


I am sure to anyone who believes in Zeus , this is as true for them as any religion





Vanity


consider yourself reported
Reply:God is not a myth, nor are His works. He brought the flood only once, and promised never to do it again.
Reply:Almost every culture has a flood story. Even the Inuit.

Even science is beginning to agree there was a flood of some sort...
Reply:At year 1656 was flood year, Gen.7:6; 4417 years ago and the only flood.


Noah had 350 year life Gen.9:28,29;
Reply:The earth was flooded once, and it will never happen again, the promise the rainbow.
Reply:As many religions have a 'great flood' story, I am willing to guess that there was one flood, with different versions of how it occurred. The Christian version (the one I believe in) details Noe and his family building the ark, etc.
Reply:God never flooded the earth but saved some creatures to keep life after the necessary even.


Namely, when God created life, the earth was in water. This caused that creatures breathing air lived long life because solar radiation was absorbed mostly by this water layer. However, this water had to drop once. If God would not foresee it and commanded Noah to build the ark for saving humans, animals and birds ought to be destroyed.
