Making a list of the most famous poets, philosophers, generals, the great kings, as monuments of architecture and art - traditional «small» genre Greek Hellenistic poetry and a kind of exercise in rhetoric. The choice of the number of consecrated ancient ideas about its fullness, completeness and perfection, the number 7 is considered to be the sacred number of the God Apollo (the Seven against Thebes, the Seven sages, and so forth). Like collections of sayings of famous sages, collections of anecdotes and stories about the miracle of work about the Seven wonders were popular in ancient times and include descriptions of the most grandiose, the most splendid, or in a technical sense, the most striking buildings and monuments of art.

And chariots; Vidal Zeus in Olympia I,

Know the tomb of Mausolus huge. But only saw
I Artemis hall, roof вознесший to clouds,
Everything else went down before him; outside of Olympus
The sun does not see anywhere equal to shop.

Probably, after the construction of the lighthouse of Alexandria is an engineering marvel replaces the list walls of Babylon (as a wonder of the world mentions him by Pliny the Elder in the «Natural history»). In a number of compositions instead of hanging gardens again appeared walls of Babylon, and the lighthouse on the acting Pharos replaced with the Bibliotheca Alexandrina; complemented the list also Pergamon altar of Zeus, the Palace of Cyrus in Персеполе, «singing» statues of Memnon near the Egyptian Thebes themselves Thebes, the temple of Zeus in Кизике, statue of Asklepios at Epidaurus, Athena Parthenos by Phidias on the Acropolis in Athens, in Roman times - the Colosseum and the Capitol. Subsequently, a list of the different combinations complement the temple of Solomon, Noah's ark, the tower of Babel, the Church of St. Sophia in Constantinople, etc.
