The handbook gives the flood briefly and dwells on what comes after it. Deucalion and his wife Pyrrha ride out the water in a small chest and ground on the twin-peaked Parnassus. Alone in a drowned world, they go to the oracle and ask how the human race is to be restored. The oracle answers in a veil.
“Go from the temple, it said, and cover your heads, and loosen your garments, and throw the bones of your great mother behind your backs. For a long time they stood in dread of the words. Then he understood: the great mother is the earth; the bones of the earth are the stones. They threw the stones behind them, and the stones lost their hardness, and softened, and took the shape of people — his throwing became men, and hers became women, and this is why we are a hard race, and endure labor, and give proof of the stock we came from.”
No dove is sent; no raven. The Greek flood resolves not with a bird-test but with a riddle correctly solved, and a repopulation with no genealogy at all. The new people are not born of survivors. They are thrown behind the survivors, unwitnessed as they form, and they arrive without names, without parents, described only by the material — a hard race, quarried, not descended.
Compare the roof fragment (AP-0001): a people who ask to be remembered by a sentence and not their names. Here the erasure runs the other way — a people who begin with no names to lose, made from the ground behind an averted back. The instruction to look away while they form is not explained.
