The phoenix is a mythical, sacred firebird that can be found in Greek and Roman mythologies, though its roots are of Greek origin. The only other true association to other mythology is that its inspiration may have come from a similar Egyptian mythology creature called the Bennu. There are other firebirds from other mythologies, such as Persian, but that creature is known as the Simurgh, and it is a benevolent, mythical bird.

Yes. In Greek mythology, the phoenix is a mythical bird that grows old, dies by fire, and then is reborn by rising from the ashes.

What is some information from Greek mythology about the Phoenix?

Technically, the Phoenix was from Persian mythology, but it is used many, many times in Greek mythology as a lot of those countries piggybacked off of one another's ideas. The phoenix was supposedly a large bird the size of a horse, and each one had many different, beautiful, complex designs on them. Each one was black or red, with the opposite color used for the designs. When needed, the phoenix was able to turn itself into a bird completely made out of fire. It could lite anything on fire, and could pass through objects like fire.
