Best Answer

Many ancient cultures had the phoenix among their myths, but for some reason, only the Greek name stuck. The work "phoenix" is the Greek name of the color crimson. It's also the name of the legendary founder of the kingdom of Phoenicia.

According to many accounts, the phoenix lived in Phoenicia near a well. Each morning it would bathe in the water and Helios would stop his journey for a short time to listen to the beautiful song of the bird.
