===Greek tale of Deucalion===
===Greek tale of Deucalion===
The Greeks had a tale of Zeus being enraged over a king's sacrifice of an infant on an altar in his temple, and discovering the depraavity of man in general. Zeus gathered a council of the gods, and together washed away mankind; only Deucalion, having been warned in advance by Prometheus, escaped by building a great chest whereupon he and Pyrrha escaped to safety, landing on Mt. Parnassus. [http://www.maicar.com/GML/Flood.html].

==Native American tales==
An ancient tribe suffered from a lack of game to hunt, and quarreled over hunting territories. Old men had dreams of the future, and these dreams involved a great flooding of the land. They built a large cedar raft and had it tied to Mt. Cowichan, where survivors rode out the flood. [http://www.ilhawaii.net/~stony/lore64.html]
