Although they could promote the development of human civilization more or less, but, they were always resisted and hated in the hearts of people. In the long river of human history, wars were inevitable disasters. Both statues are built in very prominent places, which fully demonstrate the people’s determination, in order to defend their national territorial sovereignty. This is more or so for the Colossus of Rhodes, its feet are built on both sides of the strait, outside the port, and vessels are entering and leaving the port will pass underneath his body. The ships are coming and going will definitely pass through it. The location of the two sculptures is also very significant, as the Statue of Liberty is located just south of New York Harbor. Then, they built the sculpture with the money, they got from selling enemy weapons, in order to commemorate the sun god Helios and the war, in which they successfully guarded their land. The people of Rhode Island successfully guarded their country, from siege of the Macedonian. The Colossus of Rhodes, 34 m as tall as 11 stairs, is like a “skyscraper” to look through the views of the whole surrounding of island just like Helios’s power. She used limbs as a metaphor to express the great ability of Helios. So back to Emma’s poem: Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame With conquering limbs astride from land to land. Native, unwearied in diffusing light, and to all eyes the object of delight”, his eyes can see everything so his ability is powerful. As in Orphic Hymn 8 to Helius, “Hear, golden Titan, whose eternal eye with matchless sight illumines all the sky. Many times people regard him as a witness to everything, so his strength and responsibility are tremendous. Therefore, he could really accomplish to have a clean view of the earth and the sky, because travels between them see God from the top and see people from the bottom. He drove the golden chariot brought the sun to the sky. So he was the worshipped God of Rhode Island. So the residences on that island were the descendant of Helios. Helios was happy and brought his family on that island to live. Zeus soon used magic to lift up a big stone on the Aegean Sea where the weather is warm, moist and comfortable animals and plants are flourished on that island. After this, He was unhappy then came to Zeus and complained about this. However, on that day of ceremony, Helios was on his routine assignment of taking of the sun so he missed that and did not get a land. After Zeus took the throne from his father Cronus, every god he ruled would get a land on the land of Greece. The land of Rhode Island, was given to Helios by Zesus the king of lords. Helios was charge in the taking care of the sun. The statue on Rhode Island is actually their sun god Helios, in the story he is the God that will protect this island forever. On the other hand, the Colossus of Rhodes also has a story. The book of the Declaration of Independence on the Statue of Liberty also showed the confidence of Americans, in protecting their sovereignty. From then on, the Americans freed themselves from the tyranny and shackles of the British Empire and seized territorial sovereignty. The shackles of the Statue of Liberty represent this. After many violent incidents, the war finally broke out and at last the United States overthrew British rule, from the United States. In order to meet its own needs, the United Kingdom had carried out extensive exploitation, excessive taxes and tyranny over its colonies, which subsequently caused a lot of dissatisfaction from the Americans. Before that, the United States was a British colony. She symbolizes the freedom and security of the United States. Even, the Statue’s official name represents her most important symbol ‘Liberty Enlightening the World’ (national park service). The torch lights the way to freedom, by showing us the path to Liberty. The torch on the Statue of Liberty is a symbol of enlightenment. The timestamp is only as accurate as the clock in the camera, and it may be completely wrong.The full name of the Statue of Liberty is Liberty Enlightening the World, which was a gift to the United States from France, in 1876, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the victory of the War of Independence.
