"The phoenix on Greece and Egypt was considered a lonely creature that couldn't reproduce, and it was one of its kind, as there could only be one phoenix at a given time. When it became old it died in the middle of flames and then it revived from its ashes, and this was the only way that a new phoenix could appear. In Greek and Roman legends, the Phoenix is the symbol of immortality and resurrection. Its name "Phoenix" is the word "red" in Greek language, which also associates it with the Sun."
