GreeceA Greek temple dedicated to a localised form of the goddess Artemis, located in Ephesus (near modern Selçuk, Turkey). The original structure was among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was infamous for being burnt down in 356 BCE by Herostratos on the same night Alexander the Great was born. The temple underwent multiple destructions and rebuilds throughout antiquity, with its final iteration destroyed in 401 CE. Only foundations and architectural fragments survive today [1].
