Antipater of Sidon was an Ancient Greek poet and writer who lived in the 2nd century B.C. As a lover of the monuments of the Greek world, he decided to put them to paper in his list of the "Seven Wonders of the Ancient World". This list was meant to represent the extent of the Greek Empire, and prompt awe and intimidation to outsiders.
The Seven Wonders of the Ancient World:
The Pyramids at Giza
The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus
The Pharos at Alexandria
The Colossus of Rhodes
The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
The Statue of Zeus at Olympia
The Mausoleum at Halicarnassus
