If you're referring to the one that Zeus caused after he realized that mortals were corrupted and had to be destroyed (this was because of Pandora's Box), they were Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha. Deucalion was the son of Prometheus, who could see into the future, and Prometheus told him what would happen. Deucalion and Pyrrha survived by building an ark, where they remained for nine days and nine nights. They were the only mortals to survive, and they found a temple. There they thanked the gods for saving their lives. Zeus saw them and pitied them and told them to pick up the bones of their mother and throw them over their shoulders. Deucalion knew that Mother Earth, Gaea, was the mother of all things and her bones were rocks, so he and Pyrrha threw rocks over their shoulders. When the rocks landed on the ground, they turned into people, and were called Deucalion's race. Since they were made from stone, they were better able to withstand the evils that had come from Pandora's box.
