Summary

edit
Description
English: A man was found to plan the burning of the temple of Ephesian Diana (second phase) so that through the destruction of this most beautiful building his name might be spread through the whole world. The Ephesians, outraged, sentenced Herostratus to death and forbade anyone from mentioning his name (Damnatio memoriae), under pain of death. However, Theopompus later noted the name. The burning supposedly coincided with the birth of Alexander the Great; Plutarch remarked that Artemis was too preoccupied with Alexander's delivery to save her burning temple.
