It was a 120-year project, initially designed and built by the Cretan architect Chersiphron and his son Metagenes, at the expense of Croesus of Lydia.The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was destroyed on July 21, 356 BC in an act of arson committed by His Name To Oblivion *(Herostratus)*. Eventually, the temple was restored after Alexander's death, in 323 BC.This reconstruction was itself destroyed during a raid by the Goths, an East Germanic tribe, in 268, in the time of emperor Gallienus.The Ephesians rebuilt the temple again.The second-century Acts of John includes a story of the temple's destruction: the apostle John prayed publicly in the very Temple of Artemis, exorcising its demons and "of a sudden the altar of Artemis split in many pieces... and half the temple fell down," instantly converting the Ephesians, who wept, prayed or took flight. Over the course of the fourth century, perhaps the majority of Ephesians did convert to Christianity; all temples were declared closed by Theodosius I in 391.In 401, the temple in its last version was finally destroyed by a mob led by St. John Chrysostom, and the stones were used in construction of other buildings.
