Scholarly Notes
the tauric or persian or ephesian goddess (also known as artemis) was the goddess of many asiatic people. it is to be distinguished from the artemis of the greeks, the sister of apollo. a very splendid temple was built to her at ephesus, which was set on fire by herostratus and reduced to ashes; but afterwards in the times of alexander the great. it was rebuilt in a style of greater magnificence.
