![]() The statue's height and splendour were a source of admiration, but not everyone shared this enthusiasm, fearing that the statue's monumentality might anger the god Helios and cause him to sink the island of Rhodes into the sea. Only then he did unveil it to the inhabitants of the island. The creator of the colossus was Chares of Lindos, who worked with a group of builders and slaves for 12 years to make it.

The Colossus of Rhodes, a gigantic statue of the god, adorned the port of Rhodes until it was destroyed in an earthquake, thereupon it was not built again.After the great victory of the Rhodian people over the Syrian warriors in 305 BC, the inhabitants of the Greek island decided to built a statue in honour of the god Helios, the patron god of the island. In ancient times he was worshipped in several places of ancient Greece, though his major cult centers were the island of Rhodes, of which he was patron god, Corinth and the greater Corinthia region.

As expected, the ride was disastrous and Zeus struck the youth with one of his lightning bolts to stop him from burning or freezing the earth beyond salvation. Although Helios warned his son again and again against this choice, explaining to him the dangers of such a journey that no other god but him was capable to bring about, Phaethon was hard to deter, and thus Helios was forced to hand him the reins. Helios' most notable role in Greek mythology is the story of his mortal son Phaethon who asked his father for a favour Helios agreed, but then Phaethon asked for the privilege to drive his four-horse fiery chariot across the skies for a single day.
