Description
Rhodes is one of the eastern-most islands of modern-day Greece, only a short distance from the Turkish mainland. In ancient times, the island and its eponymous capital city were a trading hub, and sported one of the Seven Wonders of the World, the Colossus – a giant statue of the sun god (Helios) overlooking the harbour.
The most famous ancient athlete to hail from Rhodes is Leonidas. Between 164 and 152 BCE he amassed 12 titles in athletics, winning the stadion, diaulos and race in armor on each of his four participations. His 12 individual titles stood as a record until 2016, when Michael Phelps bettered the record, winning his 13th individual title.
