The Myth of the Colossus of Rhodes (Greek mythology)

Amid the turbulent seas of history, the island of Rhodes stands as a beacon of resilience and prosperity, navigating the chaotic aftermath of Alexander the Greats empire with unyielding spirit. As Rhodes faces the immense siege led by Demetrius Poliorcetes, its people summon an ingenious blend of diplomacy and fortitude, holding fast against overwhelming odds. In the still silence that follows their victory, the Rhodians commission the monumental Colossus of Helios—a testament to their divine protector and burgeoning independence. Tonight, we drift into the ancient past, where the echoes of clashing empires soften into a tale of endurance and awe-inspiring artistry.This episode is hosted by Jessica Morgan.
