Why does a mythical Phoenix set fire to itself?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The mythical phoenix sets fire to itself because that is it's own way of dying. When humans die we can die from many different reasons, but the phoenix sets fire to itself when it knows it is old and weak then it comes back to life as a new healthy phoenix. The phoenix continues this cycle of life for ever.

  • Phoenix: A legendary bird that does not live on fruit or flowers, but on frankincense and odoriferous gums. When it has lived five hundred years, it builds itself a nest in the branches of an oak, on the top of a palm tree. In this it collects cinnamon and spikenard, and myrrh, and of these materials builds a pile on which it deposits itself, and dying, breathes out its last breath amidst odors. From the body of the parent bird, a young Phoenix issues forth, destined to live as long a life as its predecessor. When this has grown up and gained sufficient strength, it lifts its nest from the tree (its own cradle and its parent's sepulcher), and carries it to the city of Heliopolis in Egypt, and deposits it in the temple of the sun.
  • The Phoenix is a mythological bird, said to burst into flames when it died. It would then rise from its' own ashes with new life.
  • Professor Dumbledore (from Harry Potter) owns a pet phoenix named Fawkes. Harry's wand's core is made of Fawkes' tail feather. He also gave another tail feather to the wand which Lord Voldemort carries. Fawkes leaves when Dumbledore dies.

Who is more powerful the Phoenix or the dragon?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Since both are mythologic creatures, we can not be sure. Someone from the Chinese culture would most likely say the dragon is more powerful, and vice versa. There are many types of Dragons also, some more powerful then others. I simply used the Chinese dragon as and example. In my opinion Dragons seem more powerful. They raze villages and are usually shown as having magic. The phoenix as far as I am concerned Is never mentioned destroying things like the Dragon is often doing.

the phoenix is a sign of peace an it can be reborned through its ashes

The phoenix is more powerful because :

1.Not so common (really there are 1000 or more types of dragons ).There is just 1 TRUE Phoenix.

2.Can revive/reborn ....

3.Is made out of FLAMES so the dragon's fire will do no harm to the phoenix.

4.Mystical

5.Nicer name

6.u tell more

The Dragon is more powerful Physical.

The Phoenix is more powerful Magical.

So it matters if you mean Physical, or Magical.
Dragons can live for thousands of years, can teach people, communicate through our minds, and Eternal Dragons are even wiser and do not die unless killed. Dragons dislike violence but if they decide to fight they can breathe fire (or ice/mist, depending on type), attack with their horns, their tails, can fly, and can probably do a lot of mental destruction.

Dragons are more powerful, skill and wisdom wise.

Phoenix are born and when they die they turn to ash. A new baby phoenix is born from the ash. People consider that its just renewing itself, not really dying.

What mythical creature is the opposite of the Phoenix?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I do not know its antithesis, but there are two possibilities. One is the peacock, which symbolizes the same things the phoenix does (the sun and the moon (the cosmos); life, death, and rebirth), but the peacock symbolizes vanity, whereas the phoenix does not, at least not to my knowledge. The other is the dragon, though the dragon represents the emperor and the phoenix represents the empress, representing the yin/yang, even though the dragon is a more sinister symbol in most cases, but despite this, the dragon and phoenix are both blissful lovers and mortal enemies. Now, if you want the inversion, it might possibly be the peacock, not the dragon (since the dragon is mostly the antithesis of the griffin or elephant). Another potentiality might be the vulture, but I do not know,
