The Statue of Liberty by Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi 1877-1886

"To you, Helios, yes to you the people of Dorian Rhodes raised this colossus high up to the heaven, after they had calmed the bronze wave of war, and crowned their country with spoils won from the enemy. Not only over the sea but also on land they set up the bright light of unfettered freedom. For to those who spring from the race of Heracles dominion is a heritage both on land and sea."

-Greek Anthology: Book 6.171
