Titre: Phoenix, Legendary Creature
Légende: Voir la traduction automatique
13th century illuminated manuscript shows the phoenix on its funeral pyre, which was lit by the rays of the sun above. The phoenix was a mythical sacred firebird that can be found in the mythologies of the Persians, Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Chinese, and Phoenicians. A phoenix was a fire spirit with a colorful plumage and a tail of gold and scarlet (or purple, blue, and green according to some legends). Only one phoenix existed at any time. It had a 500 to 1000 year lifecycle, near the end of which it would build itself a nest of twigs, set it on fire, and be consumed in the flames. From the ashes a new, young phoenix or phoenix egg arose, reborn anew to live again. The new phoenix was destined to live as long as its old self.
