The city of Rhodes has a population of 30,000. Rhodes was inhabited in prehistorical times by the Pelasgians and by colonists from Argos, who took an active part in the Trojan War. ln later years, after having vanquished the Phoenicians, the islanders ruled the adjacent seas. This su- premacy continued until the 7th century. When the Peloponnesian wars came, the Rhodians fought alongside the Athenians. In 280 B.C., the celebrated colossus is supposed to have been erected by the islanders in their capital city. Cassius, the Roman general, captured Rhodes in 42 B.C. Even then, its flour- ishing civilization did not disappear, for Rhodes remained a city of many schools and boasted of famous artists. Numbers of prominent Greeks and Romans, including emperors, officials, and intellectuals, came to live there. When Rome was divided, the Dodecannese Islands became part of the eastern or Byzantine Empire. Rhodes eventually shared all the misfortunes of the invasions of the Barbarians and the Franks. In 1306 it was sold to the Military Order of St. John of Jerusalem by its ruler, the Chief Admiral of the Byzantine Empire, a move which established its fortunes. Rhodes was made so firm a stronghold that it was able to resist the attacks of Mohammed ll, the conqueror of Constantinople. In 1522, however, it was obliged to surrender to Sulieman the Magnificent, but only after a 6 months siege that captured the imagination of all western Europe. Rhodes was occupied by the Turks until 1912, long after most of the Greek islands were free. ln that year, the Italians captured the Dodecanese from the Turks. The occupation, at first benevolent, became in the later years of facism, vain and tyrannical. The islands were not freed from this occupation until 1945 when the Germans, who had taken over from the Italians during the latter stages of the war, surrendered to Greek and British commandos. Rhodes and the Dodecanese were officially returned to Greece on 7 March 1948 under the Italian Peace Treaty. In any case, the islanders had always kept up their connection with their brethren in free Greece, they have the same buildings, dance the same dances, and with some regional differences, are an integral part of Aegean Greece. 33
