[1] "Helios, the sun, is a god everywhere; there was a scandal when Anaxagoras dared to call him a glowing clod [see alpha 1981]. But the island of Rhodes is almost the only place where Helios enjoys an important cult; consequently he becomes anthropomorphic: the largest Greek statue in bronze, the Colossus of Rhodes, is a representation of Helios" (W. Burkert, Greek Religion (Oxford and Cambridge Mass. 1985) 175; see also OCD(4) p.655, and L.R. Farnell, The Cults of the Greek States (Oxford 1896-1909) 5.417-20).
