the repeated use of the introductory phrase "or such as ..." implies an initial "such as ...", and it is likely that this first woman treated was pyrrha, wife of deucalion. there is some debate about whether the "catalogue" included an account of the flood myth, but the creation of a race of humans born from stones cast by deucalion and pyrrha does appear to have figured in the poem. zeus unsurprisingly had first pick from the catalogue of women, and sired hellen by pyrrha. pyrrha also had three daughters by deucalion: thyia, protogeneia and pandora, who was named for her maternal grandmother, the famous pandora. like their mother, these three lay with zeus, bearing sons from whom several early greek tribes were said to descend. thyia bore magnes and macedon; protogeneia bore aethlius, the grandfather of aetolus; and pandora's son was graecus.
