The Temple of Artemis or Artemision (Greek: Ἀρτεμίσιον; Turkish: Artemis Tapınağı), also known as the Temple of Diana, was a Greek temple dedicated to an ancient, localised form of the goddess Artemis (equated with the Roman goddess Diana). It was located in Ephesus (near the modern town of Selçuk in present-day Turkey).
The statue is also known as Diana with a Doe (French: Diane à la biche), Diana Huntress (French: Diane chasseresse), and Diana of Ephesus. It is a partially restored Roman copy (1st or 2nd century CE) of a lost Greek bronze original attributed to Leochares, c. 325 BCE. [3] [4]
The statue is dated to the 2nd century AD and made of alabaster and painted bronze and appears as a Xoanon, a wooden cult statue. [1] It has a height of 1.30 m (4 ft 3 in). [1] An 1883 English handbook to the museum provides the following description of the statue: 6278. Diana of Ephesus. A statue of Oriental alabaster with bronze extremities.
The "sewer" mention appears to have been directed at the Diana Memorial Fountain in Hyde Park, which was officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2004, a year before the Harrods statue.
