The address is narrow and the served text hits it squarely. Deucalion, grounded on Parnassus when the rain ceases, “sacrificed to Zeus, the god of Escape”, and, granted a wish, “he chose to get men” [The Library (Bibliotheca), BOOK I, ch. VII]. The mechanism is the motif: “he taok up stones and threw them over his head” (ws; the misprint is the scan’s), and “the stones which Deucalion threw became men, and the stones which Pyrrha threw became women” [ibid.]. The chapter then hands over the pun that seals the aetiology: people were “called metaphorically people (laos) from laas”, a stone [ibid.]. The new race is thrown, not born — sexed by the hand of the thrower, hardened against the water that dissolved the race before it. The pilot’s Deluge page (A1010) told this chapter as catastrophe-with-repair; Thompson gives the repair its own number and one authority row (Frazer’s note, with Fox), which resolves here. The stone-to-people pun is the page’s quiet argument that the myth was always an etymology as much as an anthropology: the text derives humanity from gravel and grammar in the same breath.
