Human beings associate a long-lived bird in Greek mythology with cyclically regenerating life. The mythical phoenix rises from ashes or new beginnings. In this legendary culture, the phoenix obtains vitality by rising above previous death. Some people think the phoenix dies with intense flames and fire burning all around, but others claim it simply decomposes and comes back to life again.[1] People differ about how long a phoenix lives, but many say that after five hundred years, another is born. Important figures in ancient Greek and Roman cultures write down stories of this special bird. Some famous storytellers like Herodotus, Lucan, and Lactantius spread the idea through time, while other famous historians such as Pope Clement I tell of the phoenix. People connect this legendary culture to Phoenicia, now modern Lebanon, which is known for making purple dye from shells in conch animals.[2]
