Colossus, in Greek mythology, refers to the Colossus of Rhodes, a giant statue of the sun god Helios that stood on the island of Rhodes. Constructed around 280 BC, it was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, symbolizing triumph and unity for the Rhodians after a successful defense against a siege. The statue stood approximately 33 meters tall and was completed in 12 years, but it was destroyed by an earthquake in 226 BC. The term "colossus" has since come to represent anything of gigantic size or importance.
