The term 'Rhodes Sight' is a reference to the COLOSSUS of Rhodes, an ancient statue of the Greek sun god Helios that was built in 280 BC. The COLOSSUS of Rhodes was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and stood at the entrance of the harbor of Rhodes for over 50 years before it was destroyed by an earthquake. It was considered to be one of the most impressive monuments of the ancient world and was a symbol of the power and wealth of the city of Rhodes.
