Mythology & Lore
Phoenix Symbolism: The Phoenix, known for its rebirth and regeneration through fire, is a powerful symbol of eloquence and speech. Its flames represent the burning passion and intensity of words, communication, and persuasion. Additionally, the Phoenix's cycle of life, death, and rebirth could symbolize the power of ideas to evolve and shape societies, just as eloquence shapes public opinion and political power. The Phoenix also embodies wisdom and transformation—qualities crucial to a school focused on linguistics, rhetoric, and performance. Its mythic nature also connects well to a tradition of oral storytelling and history, which would be central to a college that values eloquent expression.
