The Phoenix is one of the most famous birds of ancient mythology.

There was, according to most accounts, only one Phoenix. It lived a remarkably long life and was blessed with constant rebirth.
When the Phoenix reached the end of its extraordinary lifespan, it was said that it burst into flames. From the ashes was born a young Phoenix, both a new life and a continuation of its predecessor.
