Phoenix (Greek Φοῖνιξ, Pers. ققنوس, Lat. Phoenix; perhaps from Greek. Φοίνιξ, “purple, crimson”) is a mythological bird that has the ability to burn itself and then revive. Known in the mythologies of different cultures [1], it is often associated with the solar cult. It was believed that the phoenix has an appearance similar to an eagle with a bright red or golden-red plumage. Foreseeing death, he burns himself in his own nest, and a chick emerges from the ashes. According to other versions of the myth, the Phoenix itself is reborn from the ashes. It was commonly believed that the Phoenix is ​​the only, unique individual of its kind. In the metaphorical interpretation of the Phoenix - a symbol of eternal renewal, immortality.
