The Phoenix bird exemplifies
our company. We help customers continue to renew
their networks by bringing new life into their
operations.
In ancient Egyptian mythology
and in myths derived from it, the
Phoenix or phœnix
is a mythical sacred firebird. Said to live for 500
or 1461 years (depending on the source), the
Phoenix
is a bird with beautiful gold and red plumage. At
the end of its life-cycle the
Phoenix builds itself
a nest of cinnamon twigs that it then ignites; both
nest and bird burn fiercely and are reduced to
ashes, from which a new, young phœnix arises. The
new Phoenix embalms the ashes of the old
Phoenix in
an egg made of myrrh and deposits it in the Egyptian
city of Heliopolis ("the city of the sun" in Greek).
The bird was also said to regenerate when hurt or
wounded by a foe, thus being almost immortal and
invincible — a symbol of fire and divinity. Tears
from a Phoenix can heal wounds.
