A phoenix (sometimes: phoenix; Greek: Φοίνιξ, foinix; Chinese: 鳳 or 鳳凰 (Mandarin: Feng or Fenghuang; Cantonese: Fong or Fong Wôong); Tibetan: Me byi karmo) is a mythical creature of Greek mythology and Chinese mythology . The Greeks believed that the phoenix was capable of being reborn again and again from its own ashes. He will then make a nest in the top of a tree of herbs and burn in it. He will be born again by the fragrance of the herbs. In Chinese culture, the animal represents the female sex in the world.
The Roman poet Ovid also wrote in a poem that the Assyrians call the bird phoenix. He would not eat seeds and grasses, but would use the juice of juicy herbs for food. After living for five hundred years, the phoenix would make a nest of bark, herbs and myrrh high in an oak. When he was in it, it caught fire. The scent of the herbs takes the soul of the ancient phoenix. The body burns and a little phoenix comes out. In this the old soul took place again to live another 500 years.
Before being retrieved by the Greeks, the phoenix, the divine bird, first appeared in Egypt; it is a grayish heron, an animal associated with the seasons and tides of the waters of the Nile. The Egyptians thought that he procreated himself to participate in the feasts of the rebirth of nature.
The Christian faith saw in the phoenix the symbol of the resurrection.
