The Statue of Liberty (Greek: Άγαλμα της Ελευθερίας) is a bronze statue erected at the harbor of Mytilene on the island of Lesbos in Greece.

The statue was created by Greek sculptor Gregorios Zevgolis based on a design by local painter Georgios Jakobides.[1] It was cast in Germany in 1922, and was erected and dedicated in Mytilene in 1930.[1]

The statue and its marble base stand 15 metres (49 ft) tall.[2]
