The mythological Prometheus had a son named Deucalion. Deucalion was the Greek mythology equivalent of Noah. Zeus caused a great flood while he was angry at King Lycaon. Deucalion (son of Prometheus) created a Chest (same as Ark) to save himself and his wife during the great flood.
Deucalion is basically the Noah in Greek Mythology, only he is warned by his father of a flood because of Zeus's anger at humanity, and he builds an ark and rides out the flood. Deucalion and his wife through rocks behind them and they turn into the first humans after the flood.
Zeus saves Deucalion because he recognizes Deucalion's piety and righteousness amidst a world filled with corruption and wickedness. As the Greek myth goes, Zeus decides to flood the earth to cleanse it of its moral decay, but he spares Deucalion and his wife, Pyrrha, to ensure the survival of humanity. Their survival serves as a means to repopulate the earth and restore a more virtuous society after the floodwaters recede.
