Deukalion, along with his wife Pyrrha, daughter of Pandora, lived in the northern reaches of Greece. Zeus, angered by the impiety of humankind at the time, sent the Great Deluge. Prometheus warned Deukalion and Pyrrha of the impending apocalypse and they survived by mounting a chest and reaching the dry peaks of Mount Parnassos. Once the waters receded, the couple consulted the Delphic Oracle on how to repopulate the earth.
Typhon was a storm-giant, so huge that his head was said to brush the stars, who laid siege to the realm of the gods but was defeated by Zeus.

Ekhidna was his consort, a she-dragon who birthed a number of the Titans.
