One
of the
saddest
romantic
stories
of
ancient
times
is the
long
-
forgotten
game
of
hide
-and-
seek
between the
Statue
of
Liberty
and the
Colossus
of
Rhodes
. The
Statue
of
Liberty
gave
up
hiding
in
1886
and
moved
to a
prominent
spot
on
Liberty
Island
where she
still
waits
to be
found
;
alas
, she has
yet
to
discover
that the
Colossus
was
killed
in an
earthquake
in about
226BC
.
