Phoenix. Derived from the ancient Greek “φοῖνιξ”, in the probable sense of “blood red”, this bird of Greek mythology is endowed with great longevity. It is characterized by the power to be reborn from its own remains or even after being consumed in the flames. Often referred to as the firebird, it thus symbolizes the cycle of death and resurrection.
