Funfact: There are many depictions/inspirations derived from the story of the phoenix bird (from greek and roman mythology). In fact, the Phoenix itself was inspired by the Egyptian mythological creature named: Benu/Bennu— associated with Ra and Osiris.

Obviously, I'm not going to dive into too much (I might accidentally make an essay because of it), but here's a list of mythology that are related/inspired/similar to the Phoenix:

Islam - Anqa
Ancient China - Fenghuang
Slavic - Firebird
Native American - Thunderbird
Jewish - Milcham
Hindu - Garuda
