I Deucalionidi in Ecateo di Mileto (FGrHist 1 F13 e F15)

This article analyzes two fragments from Hecataeus of Miletus (FGrHist 1 F13 and F15) that describe the genealogy of Deucalion. They provide an alternative lineage in which the sons of Deucalion are Pronoos, Orestheus, and Marathonios, and contrast with the Hesiodic Catalog of Women, reflecting broader themes of ethnic identity and mythological evolution within Greek historiography. The analysis highlights the distinctive nature of Hecataeus’ version, suggesting the existence of a deeper link between his genealogy and the local traditions of Aetolia and Attica. This study argues that these genealogical adaptations were influenced by regional identities and their e orts of historical reorganization.
