<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Corrector, post: 7300439, member: 119354&quot;]“it also appears in the Bible (Ezekiel)”: sorry, but no. The Ezekiels’ text about the phoenix does not belong to the prophet Ezekiel, but to Ezekiel the Tragedian (a Jewish Greek-speaking author living in Egypt, during approximatively the 3rd c. BCE). It is a fragment of a drama entitled <i>Exagoge</i>, “Exodus”, about Moses leaving Egypt with his people&nbsp; and probably encountering the bird in a grove of the homonymous palm trees “phoenix dactylifera”. And there is nowhere a phoenix bird to be seen in the Bible ; only some late Jewish versions translated a problematic word by “phoenix bird” in Job 29:18, when the Greek and Latin versions have “palm tree”.
