The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus

On the night of July 21, 356 BC, the sky over the city of Ephesus glowed with the flames of one of the most famous fires in World History.

On the same day as Alexander the Great’s birth, the Temple of Artemis, a Wonder of the Ancient World, was reduced to rubble by fire.

The destruction was not the result of an encroaching army or a dispute between Empires; it was history’s most famous act of arson, executed by a lonely fame seeker named Herostratus.

Learn more about the Temple of Artemis, which lived a life of glory, mystery, resurrection, and destruction on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
