Apollo vs. Helios

Latest comment: 17 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I have never seen the film, but is it very specific that it is a Colossus of Apollo? Because the actual Colossus was a statue of Helios, the sun god. Apollo became mixed into the Helios story about the time of the Roman adoption of the pantheon. If the movie doesn't distinctly say Apollo, it should be changed to Helios. If they're specific on it, there should perhaps be a subsection pointing out that the Colossus in real life was based on Helios. --24.9.77.128 23:38, 20 January 2007 (UTC)Reply
