The phoenix was one of the most magnificent birds that ever lived. Unfortunately for bird watchers, the grand phoenix lived only in the imaginations of the ancient Greeks and Egyptians.
According to Greek mythology, only- one phoenix at a time lived on earth. The phoenix, a male, was brightly colored, with gold and red feathers. Legend has it that the single bird lived for exactly 500 years. Just before it was to die, it would build a nest, The mythical bird’s last task was to sit patiently on the nest, waiting for the sun to start the dry twigs burning and set the nest ablaze. But as the proud phoenix sacrificed itself in flame, a tiny worm would crawl from beneath the ashes. This worm grew in to a new phoenix. Its first task was to gather up its father’s ashes and bury them in the temple of the Egyptian sun god in Heliopolis, the City of the Sun. Each reborn phoenix lived out the remainder of its life in Arabia.
Today, the phoenix symbolizes immortality. Also, someone who succeeds where he or she had previously failed is often referred to as a phoenix.

A、king
B、myth
C、fairy tale
D、god
