The Phoenix is a mythological bird that is commonly associated with fire. The story of the Phoenix includes concepts of death and rebirth. Phoenixes are mentioned in legendary tales of many civilizations. The Phoenix legend is ancient, and is recorded by Roman and Greek storytellers. Death and Rebirth The story of the Phoenix involves an immortal creature. According to Wisconsin University, the Phoenix bird has a lifespan of 500 years. When its life is up, the Phoenix built a nest that would catch on fire when ignited by the sun and burn the aged body of the Phoenix, and it would be reborn from the ashes of the pyre. Egypt The Phoenix legend is rooted in Egypt. The story involves the Phoenix flying back to Egypt to perform its rebirth ritual. According to Swarthmore College, the Phoenix is based on a mythological Egyptian bird named the Benu. This legend was received by Greek travelers who visited ancient Egypt, and then spread this story throughout Europe. Fire Fire symbolizes the Phoenix. The stories that mention this bird take place in hot regions of the world, such as Egypt and Arabia. The Phoenix is brightly colored in red and purple and other bright, fiery colors. According to Washington State University, the Phoenix is also known as the fire bird. Some legends of the Phoenix mention that the bird is surrounded by fire or made of elemental fire. Recovery The Phoenix is used as an inspiration in many stories. It can be used in the crest of a city that was burned down during a war and then reconstructed, as well as in the symbol of a shield of soldiers or travelers that returned after their families and friends thought they were lost and killed. The Phoenix is also used as a Christian symbol, since the legend of its death and rebirth has similarities to the story of Easter. The Phoenix symbolizes recovery from a tragedy and regeneration, so it may also be seen in the logos of organizations for people who are recovering from an illness, or the death of family members. Medicine The Phoenix is associated with medicine, since it is reborn as a new, healthy animal. Phoenix ashes are also associated with healing properties. According to the University of Chicago, the Phoenix is not afflicted by diseases that affect other birds and animals. The very long lifespan of the Phoenix also suggests that it is not easily harmed.
