Pandora of Thessaly

In Greek mythology, Pandora (Ancient Greek: Πανδώρα, derived from πᾶς "all" and δῶρον "gift", thus "all-gifted" or "all-giving")[1] was a daughter of King Deucalion and Pyrrha who was named after her maternal grandmother, the more famous Pandora.[2] Her brother was Hellen.

This article is about daughter of Pyrrha, who in turn is a daughter of the elder Pandora. For other uses, see Pandora (Greek myth).

According to the Hesiodic Catalogue of Women, she was the mother of Graecus by the god Zeus.[3][4] The same parentage can be attributed to Latinus.[5] In some accounts, Pandora's children by Zeus were called Melera and Pandorus.[6]
