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===
====Salish====
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]

Nanabozho made a serpent angry in Lake Superior, and the serpent caused a flood which sent the tribe fleeing for the highest mountains; from the Nanabozho built a raft and floated with other survivors until the waters subsided. [http://www.ilhawaii.net/~stony/lore111.html]
====Aztec====
The Creator told Tapi to build a boat, and place his wife and pairs of animals onboard it, as the Creator was going to flood the valley of Mexico. The water crested over the mountaintops, and receeded; when a dove was sent off and did not return, Tapi rejoiced. [http://wovoca.com/myths-flood-1.htm]
