• Deucalion, son of Prometheus, survivor of the Deucalian flood.
• Deucalion, son of Zeus and Iodame, daughter of Itonus. He was the brother of Thebe who became the wife of Ogygus.
• Deucalion, son of Minos and Pasiphae, and apparently succeeded his older brother Catreus as King of Crete, father of Idomeneus.
• Deucalion, a soldier Achilles kills in the Iliad to avenge the death of Patroclus.
