The Temple of Artemis (Greek: Ἀρτεμίσιον, or Artemision), 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 located in Ephesus (near the modern town of Selçuk in present-day Turkey), and was completely rebuilt three times before its eventual destruction in 401. Only foundations and sculptural fragments of the latest of the temples at the site remain.
The first sanctuary (temenos) antedated the Ionic immigration by many years, and dates to the Bronze Age. Callimachus, in his Hymn to Artemis, attributed it to the Amazons. In the 7th 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 10 years to complete, only to be destroyed in an act of arson by Herostratus. It was later rebuilt.

Help me
I can't breathe
Our strangled souls will intertwine congruent and disengage
We'll wash upon the clouded nile defiled and be restrained
The hands that once were locked in lust beloved are burned with rage
You part your lips, your crooked smile revealing your unbound hate
Tell my wife that the devil made me do it
Tell my kids that I had it but I blew it
Tell my friends that I've got it and I'll use it
Tell my folks that I'll never go through it
Gravity, gravity, gravity
Gravity is holding me back
Holding me back
