The phoenix is a fantastic legend which has captured the imaginations of people down through the millenniums. Is it only a myth or is it like many such stories based on some ancient event?

Because it is graphically rich I have reproduced it here as a series of images. If you need to increase the text size just use (Ctrl +) or click on each image. I hope you enjoy the article. – William Struse)
