In Ancient Greek folklore, a phoenix (/ˈfiːnɪks/; Ancient Greek: φοῖνιξ, phoînix) is a long-lived bird that cyclically regenerates or is otherwise born again. Associated with the sun, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor. Some legends say it dies in a show of flames and combustion, others that it simply dies and decomposes before being born again. Wikipedia
Phoenix ('-cis, m e Graeca φοίνιξ) in mythologia est avis nobilis in Arabia vel Graeca vel Aegypta, auri fulgore circa colla, cetera purpureus, caeruleam roseis caudam pennis distinguentibus. Senescens se ipse odoribus et igni cremat iterum resurrecturus e cineribus. Post mortem, phoenix quincentis annis vivit deinde renatur a metempsychosi. Vicipaedia
Ὁ Φοῖνιξ ὄρνις ἐστὶν ἱερός, ὃς ἐξ Ἀραβίας εἰς Αἴγυπτον ἐπιφοιτᾷ τοῦ πατρὸς ἀποθανόντος. Τῶν πτερῶν αὐτοῦ τὰ μὲν χρυσόκομα, τὰ δὲ ἐρυθρά, ἐς τὰ πλεῖστα ἀετῷ ὁμοιότατος ἐστὶ τὸ μέγεθος. Ἐξ οὖν Ἀραβίας ὁρμώμενος εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν τοῦ Ἡλίου κομίσας τὸν πατέρα ἐν σμύρνῃ ἐμπλάσσοντα ἐκεῖ θάπτει. Ἀθάνατός ἐστιν οὗτος ὁ ὄρνις, ἐπεὶ δύναται ἀναγεννᾶσθαι ἐκ τῶν τεφρῶν ἱεραῖς βοτάναις χρησάμενος. Ἀπολλόδωρος
