A proposito di questo titolo

In 305 BCE, as Alexander's generals carved up his empire, the wealthy island city-state of Rhodes refused to pick a side. That defiance brought the full force of Demetrius Poliorcetes — the Besieger — and his terrifying war machines, including a nine-story siege tower called the Helepolis. But the Rhodians, armed with cunning, grit, and a little help from Ptolemy, held out for a year. This episode of What Happened After Alexander the Great Died dives into the siege that produced one of the ancient world's most famous statues: the Colossus of Rhodes. We explore the innovations in siege warfare, the geopolitics of the Diadochi, and how a small democracy humbled one of history's greatest military engineers. Featuring details about torsion catapults, sally ports, and the Rhodian navy, this is a story of David versus Goliath with bronze giant.
