The definition of the glossary term Antipater of Sidon

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
