IL COLOSSO
DI RODI (1961)
Darios
visits his uncle in Rhodes in the year 280 BC. Rhodes has just finished
constructing an enormous colossus of Apollo to guard its harbor
and is planning an alliance with Phoenicia which would be hostile
to Greece. Darios flirts with the beautiful Diala, daughter of the
statue's mastermind, while becoming involved with a group of rebels
headed by Peliocles. These rebels seek to overthrow the tyrannical
King Serse as does Serse's evil second-in-command, Thar.
