Colossus of Rhodes, colossal statue of the sun god Helios that stood in the ancient Greek city of Rhodes
and was one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The sculptor Chares of Lyndus (another city on the island)
created the statue, which commemorated the raising of Demetrius I Poliorcetes’ long siege (305 BCE) of Rhodes.
Made of bronze and reinforced with iron, it was weighted with stones. The Colossus was said to be 70 cubits (105 feet [32 metres])
high and stood beside Mandrákion harbour, perhaps shielding its eyes with one hand, as a representation in a relief suggests.
It is technically impossible that the statue could have straddled the harbour entrance, and the popular belief that it did so dates only
from the Middle Ages.
The statue, which took 12 years to build (c. 294–282 BCE), was toppled by an earthquake about 225/226 BCE.
The fallen Colossus was left in place until 654 CE, when Arabian forces raided Rhodes and had the statue broken
up and the bronze sold for scrap. Supposedly, the fragments totaled more than 900 camel loads.
