There were many versions of the legend of the Phoenix Platform. According to historical records, the earliest legend appeared in Liu Xiang's Biography of Immortals in the Han Dynasty. It told the story of Xiao Shi teaching to play jade and blow the flute to attract phoenixes. Another legend appeared during the Liu Song period of the Southern Dynasty. It was said that a few beautiful big birds flew to the southwest mountain of Nanjing City and attracted other ordinary birds to follow them. Therefore, this place was named Phoenix Lane and a high platform was built here, named Phoenix Platform. There was also a legend about the origin of the Phoenix Terrace. It was said that several beautiful big birds flew here from the southwest mountain of Nanjing City. These birds had bright feathers and pleasant sounds, attracting other ordinary birds to follow. This strange phenomenon was quickly discovered by others and spread to hundreds of people. Finally, a royal family learned about it, so they renamed this place Phoenix Lane and built a high platform here, called Phoenix Platform. However, there was still controversy about the specific architectural form and current situation of the Phoenix Platform.
The Black Phoenix was a character in Marvel Comics. It was one of the most powerful creatures in the Marvel Universe, with unlimited power and the ability to be reborn. It was a black phoenix that could control the flight and rebirth of other phoenixes. The Black Phoenix had also appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the movies Avengers 3: Infinite War and Avengers 4: Endgame.
One of the most well - known cyclops stories is from Greek mythology, the encounter of Odysseus and the Cyclops Polyphemus. Odysseus and his men were trapped in the cyclops' cave. He tricked the cyclops by saying his name was 'Nobody' and then blinded him to escape. Another story could be from various modern fantasy novels where cyclops are often depicted as large, one - eyed, and sometimes brutish but also with their own cultures and hierarchies. There are also cyclops in some video games, like in the 'God of War' series where they are fearsome foes.
It depends on which specific comic series or storyline you're referring to. In some, he's met his demise, but in others, he might still be alive and kicking.
I think the Odysseus and Polyphemus story has a really interesting plot. The idea of being trapped in a cave with a huge, one - eyed giant who eats humans is terrifying. And Odysseus' clever trick of using the name 'Nobody' so that when the other cyclops come to help, they think Polyphemus is just being crazy when he shouts 'Nobody is attacking me' is brilliant.
