Phoenix

Phoenix was a mythical bird that the Greeks believed that the Phoenix come from Egypt. The bird was said to be able to breathe fire. It had the ability to live over a hundred years old, before it begins to build a huge bonfire. The bird would then set it alight before jumping into the bonfire. When the fire died down, the Phoenix would be reborn as a young bird.
