Best Answer

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.

Is phoenix a name of boy or a girl?

The phoenix is a mythical bird, one that is supposedly immortal through repeated resurrection. It was written about in Greek mythology and based on ancient Egyptian legends. It was described as a large bird, much like an eagle. Only one phoenix was said to have lived at a time. This gold and red bird, always a male, lived in Arabia. Each phoenix lived for exactly 500 years, and when it was about to die, it gathered twigs and spices and built a nest. Then the phoenix sat on the nest and waited patiently for a ray of sun to set the nest on fire. The bird never tried to escape its fiery death, for from its ashes a worm would come crawling out. This worm became a new, beautiful little phoenix, who immediately set to work gathering its father's ashes into a ball of incense. The phoenix then flew with these ashes to the Egyptian city of Heliopolis, the City of the Sun, and buried the ashes in the temple of the sun god. Then it flew back to Arabia to live for 500 years, when the cycle would be repeated.
