There was also the flood that created the Med. It was something like 6 million years ago. Maybe too early to have been seen by intelligent beings capable of creating a mythology.
That was a flood that lasted something like 2 years, the time it took to equalize the water level of the Atlantic and the Med.
There is this controversial proposal about a flood from the Agean to the black sea, about 7000 years ago:
