Chares of Lindos

ancient Greek sculptor

flourished 3rd century BC, Lindos, Rhodes, Greece

ancient Greek sculptor who created the Colossus of Rhodes (Rhodes, Colossus of), usually counted among the Seven Wonders of the World. A pupil of the sculptor Lysippus, Chares fashioned for the Rhodians a colossal bronze statue of the sun god Helios, the cost of which was defrayed by selling engines of war left by Demetrius I Poliorcetes after a siege in 305–304 BC. This Colossus was said to be 70 cubits (105 feet; 32 m) in height. The notion that it bestrode the harbour has been discredited. It was destroyed by an earthquake about 225 BC.
