Chares of Lindos is haunted by voices in his head, and war is on it's way to the city he loves. Guided by the god Helios (who has his own motives), Chares begins to construct what will be his greatest creation: The Colossus of Rhodes. This play is presented in the style of traditional greek theatre, but with a few twists. I finished this last year in a stupor while I was stranded on campus for thanksgiving break. Needs MANY more revisions, but I dig it enough to share. Thanks for reading!

He knew his kingdom's fate was sealed, but his own...? "Choose wisely, King Arjun. Your kingdom's destruction or your own degradation. The choice is yours."
