Ogygian Deluge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ogygian Deluge (so called because it occurred at the time of Ogyges) is a flood in Greek mythology, ending Hesiod's Silver Age and succeeded by the first Bronze Age (see Ages of Man). Jerome in his Chronicon dates it to 1757 BC. James Ussher in his Annals of the World dates it to 1796 BC, or Anno Mundi 2208 [1]. The event has been associated with the Thera eruption.
