Why did emma lazarus call her poem "the new colossus"?!


Question: The title is a reference to the Colossus of Rhodes which the Statue of Liberty was somewhat based on. For those that don't know this, the poem is inscribed on a plaque at the Statue of Liberty. The Statue of Liberty's dimensions, posture and design were all based on what engineers thought that the original Colossus might have looked like before it crumbled.
