The colossus of Rhodos was predominantly in my mind of course. In Greek 
temples, statues were often oversized, sometimes almost touching the 
ceiling. Must have been an awesome sight, as was intended I suppose. So, 
this statue which is about 8 times human scale should be an eye-catcher 
when sailing into the harbour.
