Coloso de Rodas

Description

El coloso de Rodas era una gran estatua del Dios sol griego Helios, realizada por el escultor Cares de Lindos en la isla de Rodas en 280 a. C. y destruida por un terremoto en 226 a. C. Es considerada una de las Siete maravillas del mundo antiguo.[1]​

Según la mayoría de las descripciones contemporáneas, el Coloso medía aproximadamente 70 codos, o 33 metros de altura -aproximadamente la altura de la moderna Estatua de la Libertad desde los pies hasta la corona-, lo que la convierte en la estatua más alta del mundo antiguo. [2]​ Se derrumbó durante el terremoto del 226 a. C., aunque se conservaron partes. De acuerdo con cierto oráculo, los rodios no volvieron a construirlo.[3]​ Juan Malalas escribió que Adriano en su reinado volvió a erigir el Coloso,[4]​ pero se equivocó. [5]​ Según el Suda, los rodios se llamaban colosenses , porque erigieron la estatua en la isla.[6]​
