在希腊神话中，皮拉是厄庇墨透斯及潘朵拉的女儿，杜卡利翁的妻子。

当宙斯决定以大洪水结束青铜时代，杜卡利翁和皮拉是唯一生存下来的人。虽然普罗米修因斯帮人类从奥林匹斯偷取了火而被宙斯锁在高加索山的悬崖上，但他仍能预知大洪水的来临，因此命儿子杜卡利翁建造方舟。大洪水泛滥时，杜卡利翁和皮拉的船就停在唯一没有被淹浸的帕纳塞斯山。

洪水退却后，杜卡利翁夫妇再次踏触陆地。杜卡利翁接到忒弥斯的神谕，将母亲的骨头向后抛。杜卡利翁和皮拉知道「母亲」是指大地之神盖亚，而「骨头」指石头。他们按照神谕，将石头向后抛。皮拉抛的石头变成了女人，而杜卡利翁抛的石头变成了男人。

In Greek mythology, Pyrrha (/ˈpɪrə/; Greek: Πύρρα) was the daughter of Epimetheus and Pandora and wife of Deucalion.

When Zeus decided to end the Bronze Age with the great deluge, Deucalion and his wife, Pyrrha, were the only survivors. Even though he was imprisoned, Prometheus who could see the future and had foreseen the coming of this flood told his son, Deucalion, to build an ark and, thus, they survived. During the flood, they landed on Mount Parnassus, the only place spared by the flood.
