Chares of Lindos

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Chares of Lindos (fl. in 280 BC, in Greek Χάρης ο Λίνδιος) was a Greek sculptor born on the island of Rhodes. He was a pupil of Lysippus. Chares constructed the Colossus of Rhodes in 282 BC, an enormous bronze statue of the sun god Helios and also the patron god of Rhodes. The statue was built to commemorate Rhodes' victory over the invading Macedonians in 305 BC, led by Demetrius I, son of Antigonus, a general under Alexander the Great. Also attributed to Chares was a colossal head which was brought to Rome and dedicated by P. Lentulus Spinther on the Capitoline Hill, in 57 BC (Pliny, Natural History XXXIV.18)).
