In Greek mythology, there is a flood story as well. Zeus, angry at the humans' immorality, decided to flood the earth. Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha were the only survivors. They were told by an oracle to throw the bones of their mother behind them. They interpreted this as the stones of the earth. The stones they threw turned into people, repopulating the world.
One well - known flood origin story is the story of Noah's Ark in the Bible. God decided to send a great flood to cleanse the earth because of the wickedness of humanity. Noah was chosen to build an ark and take pairs of all the animals on board. The flood covered the earth for a long time and then receded. Another is the Mesopotamian flood story, where the god Enlil sent a flood but the god Ea warned Utnapishtim, who built a boat to survive.
The Hindu flood story involves Manu. He was warned by a fish, which he had been protecting and which grew to a large size, that a flood was coming. Manu built a boat and tied it to the horn of the fish. When the flood came, the fish guided the boat to safety, and from Manu, the human race was re - established.
