Three Ravens Bestiary #3: The Phoenix
Description
In this Bonus Episode, Martin and Eleanor discuss the immortal fire-bird of legend, the phoenix!
Part of the "Three Ravens Bestiary" bonus series, they start by unpacking the earliest known references to the phoenix via Hesiod, Herodotus and Pliny The Elder, then start to draw connections between those early works and the Phoenicians, Christian writing, Victorian fantasy fiction, and similar creatures from other cultures including the Ancient Egyptian god Bennu, the Chinese Fenghuang, and the Konrul of Mongol myth.
