Rhodes Island

The island’s name, in its Greek form Rhodos, is evocative of roses: rhodon, a rose. According to mythology, Rhodes was named after the nymph, Rhodos, or Rhode, daughter of Poseidon, the god of the sea, and his wife, Amphitrite. From the union of the beautiful nymph with the mighty Helios, the god of the sun patron of the island, seven children were born.
