The Temple of Artemis
The Temple of Artemis
One of the Seven Wonders of the World is the Temple of Artemis. Although only ruins remain today, it is still possible to understand how magnificent this place was in its time. The temple dedicated to the goddess Artemis in Ephesus was completed around 550 B.C.E. The temple, built entirely of marble, was described by Antipater of Sidon, who compiled the Seven Wonders of the World: "I saw the wall of Babylon, the way for chariots, and the statue of Zeus at Alpheus, and the vineyards, and the colossus of the sun, and the gigantic workmanship of the high pyramids, and the vast tomb of Mausolus; but when I saw the house of Artemis built on the clouds, all the other wonders lost their brilliance, and I said, "Behold, besides Olympus, the sun has never looked at anything so great. Oh, my God.
