Description

About Helios (The Sun) and the Colossus - why it was put up and what happened to it. About the Temple of Apollo Pythios at Rhodes, and the Temple of Athena at Lindos. One of the six 'Put it in your pocket' series on Greek Islands.

In this booklet Jill Dudley describes the legends of Helios (the sun-god), and explains what the Colossus was and why it was erected and what happened to it. She takes the reader to the ancient sanctuary of Apollo Pythias above Rhodes town, and the temple of Athena at Lyndos. It is as the back cover of the booklet says: all you need to know about the island's myths, legends and its gods.
