This led to spurious depictions of the Colossus straddling the harbor...

Despite lots of paintings from the recent past, the colossus was likely standing straight up and likely naked.
It would be somewhat similar, in posture and size to the Statue of Liberty.
Surely amazing!
Yeah, they had it going on in ancient Rhodes.
Rhodes is beautiful. Where the statue once stood, there are two columns on the edge of the of the harbor.
