The Temple of Artemis is also known as the Temple of Diana.
Artemis was an Olympian God, the daughter of Zeus and Leto. She was the goddess of the moon, and the goddess of the hunt. She was also the twin sister of Apollo.
The first temple was built in approximately 800 BC.
The first temple was destroyed in the 7th century. Reconstruction began in 550 BC. It took about 10 years to rebuild it. Some historians say it was destroyed due to a flood. Others believe it was due to war.
The second temple was approximately four times larger in area than the previous one.
Each time the temple was rebuilt it was on the same site.
