Croesus, the wealthy king of Lydia, built the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus as an expression of his devotion to the goddess and to showcase his immense wealth and power. The temple was intended to serve as a place of worship and to honor Artemis, who was considered the protector of the city and its people. Additionally, the construction of such a grand temple aimed to establish Ephesus as a significant religious center in the ancient world. The temple later became one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World due to its impressive architecture and size.
