The remainders of a wonder (für Eva L.)

The remainders of a wonder (für Eva L.)
➽ Im Vordergrund die Ruinenstätte des Tempels der Artemis in Ephesos. Sie liegt am Fuß des Burghügels Ayasoluk unterhalb der Zitadelle und der Johanneskirche (PiP) - für mehr Infos, siehe Links in den Notizen.
Der Tempel war der olympischen Gottheit Artemis (Göttin der Jagd, des Waldes und Hüterin der Frauen und Kinder) gewidmet. Er soll von der Amazonenkönigin Otrere gegründet worden sein und gehörte als größter Tempelbau zu den 7 Weltwundern der Antike. Quelle: Wikipedia

➽ In the foreground the ruin site of the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus. It lies at the foot of the castle hill Ayasoluk below the Citadel and the Basilica of St. John (PiP) - for more information, see links in the notes.
The temple was dedicated to the goddess Artemis (goddess of hunting, forest and guardian of women and children). It was said to have been founded by the Amazon queen Otrere and belonged as the largest temple to the Seven Wonders of the World of antiquity. Source: Wikipedia

A fascinating picture that piqued my interest enough to learn more about the Wonders of the World...I had no idea the "Wonders" have changed over time and that's why this one isn't found on the "current" list of Wonders. I'll have to do some more reading! Thanks for the great picture and inset, and your information too. Super stuff!
