Protogeneia

"First-born." A daughter of Deucalion and Pyrrha.1 She was married to Locrus, but had no children; Zeus, however, who carried her off, became by her, on Mount Maenalus in Arcadia, the father of Opus.

According to others she was not the mother, but a daughter of Opus.2 Endymion also is called a son of Protogeneia.3
