It was built as a celebration of freedom, just like the statue of liberty was (the statue of liberty is modeled after it) and to honor the Greek god of the sun, Helios.


What can you infer about the colossus of Rhodes from its name?

The name "Colossus of Rhodes" suggests that this statue was a monumental figure, as "colossus" typically refers to an enormous statue or structure. Specifically, it indicates that the statue was located on the island of Rhodes, which is in Greece. The term implies not only its size but also its significance, likely representing a deity or a symbol of triumph, as it was built to celebrate Rhodes' victory over Cyprus. Overall, the name evokes a sense of grandeur and historical importance.


Is the Statue of Liberty a replica of the Colossus of Rhodes?

No. The colossus of Rhodes was built before the idea of the statue of liberty and it was destroyed by an earthquake and the bronze stolen by invading Arabs. Those are two different statues. The statue of liberty stands in New York and the colossus of Rhodes used to stand on Rhodes. Rhodes referes to the Greek Island and not Rhode Island in New York. It was destroyed but it stood 30 meters high and was one of the 7 wonders of the ancient world. The liberty lady is a female and the colosus was a male.


Where is the location of the colossus?

The Colossus was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and was located in Rhodes, in Greece.
