THE COLOSSUS OF RHODES

One of the Ancient seven Wonders
of the world.
The ancients succeeded I'm max ag
that alloy of copper which is known as
bronze. Among the seven wonders Of
the world was the famous statue, Who'll
~ made Of bronze, historically known
as the colossus Of Rhodes. 1t repre-
sented Phobus, the national deity Of
the Rhodians. 1t was begun by Chares,
pupil Of Lysippus, the sculptor, and
was completed by Laches 2Ss b. @.
The popular belief Is that 1t stood
astrlde the harbor of Rhodes, that IL
was 105 feet high and that ships could
easily sail between its legs.
Pliny said that few men could clasp
its thumb. II was cast on metal plates
afterward Joined together, aud this
process occupied twelve years. In the
interior was n spiral staircase reach.
ing into its head, and in a great mirror
suspended TO its neck were reelected
the coast Of Syria and the ships sailing
TO Egypt.
After It had stood for slXty-four
years this colossus was OyerthrOwn by
an earthquake, and its remains lay on
the shore for 923 years-that Is, until
A. ID. 6T2-when they were sold by the
Saracens 10 Hebrew dealer. The
original cost was 800 talents-sny $G,-
OOO,0OO-and II is not too much 10 say
that a similar image might be con
structed now in One-fourth OF the time
and at one-third of the original cost.
Rhodes, by the way, must have had
colossus on the brain, for Pliny relates
that the port was adorned with 1000
colossal statues Of the sun.
