What is Phoenix? Who created this fictional creature? |
|
Answer» Explanation: In Ancient Greek folklore, a phoenix is a long-lived bird that cyclically regenerates or is otherwise born again. ASSOCIATED with the SUN, a phoenix obtains new life by arising from the ashes of its predecessor. Some legends say it dies in a show of FLAMES and combustion, OTHERS that it simply dies and decomposes before being born again.Over time the phoenix motif spread from its origins in classical folklore and gained a variety of new associations: Herodotus, Lucan, Pliny the Elder, Pope Clement I, Lactantius, Ovid, and Isidore of Seville are among those who have contributed to the retelling and TRANSMISSION of the phoenix motif. |
