Rilevant Mythology

Colossus of Rhodes, one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World.

Rhode, was the sea nymph and protector goddess of the island of Rhodes in Greek mythology.
She was the daughter of the sea god Poseidon, but there are numerous sea goddesses listed as her mother.
When she went to Rhodes, she became the wife of the Sun God Helios, and Rhodes became the centre of the Goddess’ cult.
Helios and Rhode had seven sons, collectively called the Heliadae, and one daughter, Electryone.
The Heliadae became astronomers and rulers of the island.

The Colossus of Rhodes was a statue of the Greek Sun-God Helios, erected in the city of Rhodes, by the Greek sculptor Chares of Lindos in 280 BC.
One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it was constructed to celebrate the successful defence of Rhodes city against attacks.
According to most contemporary descriptions, the Colossus stood approximately 70 cubits, or 33 metres (108 feet) high – approximately the height of the modern Statue of Liberty from feet to crown – making it the tallest statue in the ancient world.
It collapsed during the earthquake of 226 BC, although parts of it were preserved.
In 653 AC, almost 1000 years later, an Arab force under Muslim general Muawiyah I, conquered Rhodes, and according to the Chronicle of Theophanes, the statue was completely destroyed and the remains sold.
