The giant statue of the Titan-God of the Sun Helios erected in the city of Rhodes in 280 BC.

One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, it was constructed to celebrate Rhodes' victory over the ruler of Cyprus. It stood approximately 70 cubits, or 33 metres (108 feet) high, making it the tallest statue of the ancient world. It collapsed during the earthquake of 226 BC; although parts of it were preserved, it was never rebuilt.
