= = =The Temple of Artemis, also known less precisely as the Temple of Diana, was a Greek temple dedicated to a goddess, Greeks identified as Artemis and was one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. It was sited at Ephesus, and was completely rebuilt three times before its eventual destruction in 401 by St John Chrysostom, archbishop of Ephesus, who incited a mob of Christians to completely destroy the temple. Only foundations and sculptural fragments= =The first sanctuary antedated the Ionic immigration by many years, and dates to the Bronze Age. In the seventh century the old temple was destroyed by a flood. Its reconstruction began around 550 BC, under the Cretan architect Chersiphron and his son Metagenes, at the expense of Croesus of Lydia: the project took some 120 years to complete, only to be destroyed in an act of arson by the infamous Herostratus. It was later rebuilt.=
