The author investigates an image of the old mentor Phoenix, the tutor of Achilles, formed by Homer in the ninth song of the "Iliad". The textual analysis shows the key areas of learning young people by older soldiers recommended by Homer through the image of the teacher of Achilles. The question of the role of the Phoenix in shaping the paradigm of a wise old teacher in the subsequent history of education and culture is discussed.

The oldest conception of the origins of music in European culture was formulated by Democritus, who stated that music arose as an imitation of birdsong. This conception was the most serious working hypothesis on the beginnings of music before Darwin. In the musicography of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries it constituted an alternative to the predominant creationistic theory, paving the way for the scientific positivist approaches which in the nineteenth century led to the eventual depreciation of thinking rooted in religion. In evolutionistically- and scientisticallyoriented comparative musicology the mimetic theory was rejected on the grounds of a lack of scientific evidence of the evolutionary link between birds and man and especially between birdsong and music.The aim of the article is to show that the mimetic theory of the origins of music was a relict of a mythical vision in which birds represented the materialised image of transcendence. The beginnings of music were linked to the voices of birds, which in many cultures symbolised human spirituality-above all spirituality manifest through death. Thus Democritus’ ‘hypothesis’ may be interpreted as a myth in which the ‘song of the beginning’ is identified with mourning

Ein allegorische Exkurs p. 121,27-123,2 im gnostischen, titellosen Schrift Vom Ursprung der Welt gehórt zu den religionsgeschichtlichen Aussagen und Besonderheiten dieses Traktats. Die Anspielung an der trichotomische Anthropologie kónnte ein Zeugnis der valentinianischen Gnosis sein, aber scheint es viel mehr an der Motiv des Phónix liegen; die Erneuerung aus der Asche in drei Stadien. Auch „Paradies Gottes” ist es ein Stiick des Mythos vom Phónix, wie auch der Bezug zu Agypten. Phónix ais Symbol des Christus bleibt im Zusammenhang mit Ps 21,7 so fur das Tod wie auch fur die Auferstehung Christi. Das Feuer, ais Mittel der Erneuerung (die gnostische Sakrament der Salbung?) scheint es polemisch gegen das Wasser (die Taufe) dargestellt. Zur polnischen Ubersetzung des Abschnitt werden die Bemer- kungen ais Kommentar beigegeben.

The article aims to present whether and how the phraseme to be reborn || rise (like a Phoenix / phoenix) from the ashes exists today in various texts of culture (recorded after 2000 in the National Corpus of Polish, drawn from the web and elsewhere), how it is present in various registers of communication and whether this petrified lexical unit is undergoing any changes. The analysis is preceded by a cultural introduction into understanding the symbolic power of Phoenix hidden in the phrase, as well as the insights into the systemic (lexicographic) state of the expression and the attempt to establish its source and the approximate time in which it was created.
