He was autochthonous (born from the earth), like his predecessor. During his reign the flood of the Deucalion story was thought to have occurred. He married Pedias, a Sparta n woman, with whom he had Cranae, Cranaechme, and Atthis. Atthis gave her name to Attica after dying, possibly as a young girl, although in other traditions she was the mother, by Hephaestus , of Erichthonius . Cranaus was deposed by Amphictyon son of Deucalion , who was himself later deposed by Erichthonius.
