FTP, what is mythical bird that is periodically killed and reborn in flame?
One figure with this name was the brother of Cadmus and Cilix who failed in his attempt to recover his kidnapped sister Europa from Zeus, while another succeeded Chiron as tutor to Achilles. More famously, this name is attached to a creature who lives near a cool well in which it bathes every dawn, singing so sweetly that the sun-god stops every day to listen. When born, it embalms the remains of its ancestor in an egg and flies it to the altar of the sun-god in Heliopolis, only to have the same happen to it centuries later.
