In 305 BC the newly-minted King Demetrius began his most famous exploit, his year-long siege of Rhodes. This chapter looks closely at a number of aspects of this military undertaking, including Demetrius’ strategies in siege warfare. Innovative siege engines, both naval and land-based, were deployed on an absolutely unprecedented scale, including the building of the gigantic <italic>helepolis</italic>, or ‘City-Taker’. The protagonists fought each other to a standstill, and eventually peace was negotiated by external parties. It was at this time that Demetrius gained his famous nickname, Poliorcetes, ‘Besieger of Cities’. The historiography, strategies, and outcomes of this siege are discussed in detail throughout this chapter.
