Summary
edit
| Description |
English: Artemis' shrines, temples and festivals (Artemisia) could be found throughout the Greek world, but Ephesian Artemis was unique.
The Ephesians considered her theirs, and resented any foreign claims to her protection. Once Persia ousted their Lydian overlord Croesus, the Ephesians played down his contribution to the Temple's restoration. The Persians dealt fairly with Ephesus, but removed some religious artifacts from Artemis' Temple to Sardis and brought Persian priests into her Ephesian cult; this was not forgiven, and when Alexander conquered the Persians in turn, his offer to finance the Temple's second rebuilding was politely but firmly refused. Ephesian Artemis lent her city's diplomacy a powerful religious edge. |
