According to Apollodorus’ Bibliotheca, this deity called down a flood to end the Bronze Age of humanity. For 10 points each:
[10e] Name this Greek deity who is the king of the Olympian gods. The Romans regarded Jupiter as the equivalent of this Greek deity.
ANSWER: Zeus
[10m] Hyginus’ (“hy-JEE-nuss’s”) Fabulae uniquely states that Deucalion and Pyrrha (“PEER-uh”) fled to the highest mountain on this island to survive the flood. Typhon was imprisoned under that mountain on this island.
ANSWER: Sicily [accept Sicilia] (That mountain is Mount Etna.)
[10h] Description required. According to Ovid, to repopulate the earth after the flood, an oracle of Themis gives a cryptic instruction to Deucalion and Pyrrha telling them to throw these specific items behind them, which they correctly interpret to mean stones.
ANSWER: the bones of their mother [accept Gaia or Gaea or Mother Earth in place of “mother”; accept ossa magnae parentis; prompt on bones or ossa by asking “of whom?”]
