The first men were made of stone.
In time they became so evil because of the demons released from Pandora's Chest and Zeus, realizing his mistake,decided to kill them all with a devastating flood.
"Raise a storm that will cause the oceans to plunder,"he told his older brother Poseidon."Spare none of the earth,but cover it all in the emerald waves!"
The oceans swelled and from the clouds it rained for nine days and nine nights.
Soon only the top of Mount Parnassus was spared from the flood.Everything else was dead.
But Fate,that mysterious God of the primeval,was in defiance of Zeus;she sent a wooden box to land upon the last dry spot on top of Parnassus and two people stepped out,a man and a woman.
Their names were Deucalion and Pyrrha, cousins.They were both the children of Titans.
Prometheus from his mountain top had sent a dove to tell Deucalion of earths impending doom, unknown to any of the God's, therefore securing another race of humanity.
Once the waters abated the husband and wife were able to find a temple which had survived and offered a thanks to the God's for sparing them.
"Close thy eyes and throw the bones of your mother behind you,"said a voice coming out of the ground.
At first the archaic message was lost on them.But after a moment Deucalion,the wisest of men,saw through it.
"Earth is the origin of mankind,"he declared,"and her bones are the rocks scattered about!"
Once they did what the mysterious voice had bid then do,the stones fell to earth and turned into people.
And that's why despite many calamities our Stone Race is still around.
