Roman
Myth: The
Phoenix lives 500 years when the new
bird "Issues Forth" from its parent.
All
the birds in the world send
representatives to swirl in the
skies above;
while
the parent is consumed on the
Great Pyre at the Temple of the
Sun.
A vast host of supplicants attend
The Pharaoh, in bare-feet and
muslin.
Waving palms and singing adorn the
celebrations
of the
500 year Jubilee
of Rebirth |
