Ancient Greek flood myths

Greek mythology describes three floods, the flood of Ogyges, the flood of Deucalion, and the flood of Dardanus. Two of the Greek Ages of Man concluded with a flood: The Ogygian Deluge ended the Silver Age, and the flood of Deucalion ended the First Bronze Age. In addition to these floods, Greek mythology says the world was also periodically destroyed by fire. See Phaëton.
==Ogyges==

The Ogygian flood is so called because it occurred in the time of Ogyges,〔Entry (Ωγύγιος ) at Liddell & Scott〕 a mythical king of Attica. The name ''"Ogyges"'' and ''"Ogygian"'' is synonymous with "primeval", "primal" and "earliest dawn". Others say he was the founder and king of Thebes. In many traditions the Ogygian flood is said to have covered the whole world and was so devastating that Attica remained without kings until the reign of Cecrops.〔Gaster, Theodor H. (Myth, Legend, and Custom in the Old Testament ), Harper & Row, New York, 1969.''〕
Plato in his Laws, Book III,〔Plato, Laws, Book III, (677a )〕 argues that this flood had occurred
ten thousand years〔The (Greek ) original text is "''μυριάκις μύρια ἔτη διελάνθανεν''", where (μυριάς ) is the myriad or 10,000 (years)〕 before his time, as opposed to only "one or two thousand years that have elapsed" since the discovery of music, and other inventions. Also in ''Timaeus'' (22) and in ''Critias'' (111-112) he describes the "great deluge of all" as having been preceded by 9,000 years of history before the time of his contemporary Solon, during the 10th millennium BCE. In addition, the texts report that "many great deluges have taken place during the nine thousand years" since Athens and Atlantis were preeminent.〔Luce, J.V. (1971), "The End of Atlantis: New Light on an Old Legend" (Harper Collins)〕
