Zeus, enraged at Prometheus for giving mankind fire, as well as mankind for accepting it, punished both. Prometheus must endure his punishment for all eternity, but mankind is to be obliterated by a deluge. Prometheus instructed his son to construct a large vessel to sail the raging flood until it subsided and the vessel ran aground on Mount Parnassus; the location of Delphi, Apollo's sacred temple. The new men and women decided to follow Deucalion and Pyrrha, setting out to restore and repopulate the human race.
