EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the majestic beauty of the Seven Wonders built by the Greeks in Ephesus, now part of Turkey. These buildings were constructed almost entirely in marble, showcasing intricate details and impressive craftsmanship. Among these wonders was a temple dedicated to Artemis (Diana), featuring fluted columns and elaborate pediments.
Tragically, this historical site met its demise at the hands of Herostratus in 356 BC. In a misguided attempt to immortalize his name, Herostratus destroyed these magnificent structures, leaving behind a legacy of destruction and loss.
The image depicts the remnants of what once stood as a testament to Greek architecture and ingenuity. The ruins serve as a reminder of the fleeting nature of human achievements and the destructive power of ego-driven actions.
As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness the grandeur that once graced this ancient city. The soldiers who guarded these buildings could never have imagined their eventual downfall at the hands of one man's selfish ambition.
Mary Evans Picture Library has captured not just an image but a piece of history frozen in time - reminding us to cherish and protect our cultural heritage for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
