symbolizes vitality and aggression, while in Iran it is a symbol of courage and good
luck.

2. Among the Greeks, the eagle means the Sun, spiritual strength, royalty, and good
luck. Because the eagle is said to fly higher than any other bird, it was seen as an
expression of divine majesty. Initially, it was the emblem of Pan, then Zeus, and as the
bearer of his lightning, it was sometimes depicted with lightning in its claws. According
to Homer, an eagle with a snake in its claws is a symbol of victory. He is not only a
companion and messenger of the great gods but often their direct personification. So,
when the Olympic gods needed a butler, Zeus sends an eagle for Ganymede or flies
himself, turning into an eagle. In another myth, the anger of Zeus turned into an eagle
and tormented the liver of Prometheus.

In the Roman tradition, the eagle is one of the most common ancient emblems of
victory, its flight was perceived as an omen of military success.

3. The rose is the symbol of Bulgaria. The country produces more than 50% of the

personifies love in all its manifestations: for God, for a woman and a man, for the
country.

The Canadian province of Alberta has the nickname "Wild Rose Country" and is
associated with this flower among the population.
