"You can't let that alone, sir," said Pyrrha. I chuckled gently. "Oh, I'll never refer to it again," said I. "This is a fine wedding of yours, Betsy." "It's good of you and the other gentlemen to come, sir." "We had to see the last of you," and I sighed very ostentatiously. Pyrrha laughed.
Little by little the forest trees rose from the shallows as if they were growing anew. At last the surface of the world lay clear to see, but sodden and deserted, the fair fields covered with ooze, the houses rank with moss, the temples cold and lightless. Deucalion and Pyrrha saw the bright waste of water sink and grow dim and the hills emerge, and the earth show green once more.
In composing act the second, the author had to proceed like Deucalion and Pyrrha, and to create an entirely new generation.
Arrived at Mitylene, Paches reduced Pyrrha and Eresus; and finding the Lacedaemonian, Salaethus, in hiding in the town, sent him off to Athens, together with the Mitylenians that he had placed in Tenedos, and any other persons that he thought concerned in the revolt.
And they named the country Hellas, after Hellen, the son of Deucalion and Pyrrha; and the people are to this day called Hellenes. But we call the country GREECE. In the town of Argos there lived a maiden named Io. She was so fair and good that all who knew her loved her, and said that there was no one like her in the whole world.

Deucalion, warned, by his father, of the coming deluge, thereupon made himself an ark or skiff, and, putting provisions into it, entered it with his wife, Pyrrha. The whole earth is then overspread with the flood of waters, and all animal life perishes, except Deucalion and his wife.
Toward this floated a boat containing Deucalion, the son of Prometheus, and his wife Pyrrha. No man, no woman, had ever been found who surpassed these in righteousness and piety.
Parnassus alone, of all the mountains, overtopped the waves; and there Deucalion, and his wife Pyrrha, of the race of Prometheus, found refuge he a just man, and she a faithful worshipper of the gods.
She was wiping her eyes with the corner of her apron, and carried in her hand a light hazel switch, which she used to guide errant cows. She was almost at the gate before she saw me. She started, and blushed very red. "Lor! is it you, Mr. Robertson?" she said. I nodded, but did not move. "Let me pass, sir, please. I've no time to stop." "What, not to talk to me, Pyrrha Betsy, I mean?"
