The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus, as seen by text-to-image algorithms fed with ancient texts.

“A wonderful monument of Grecian magnificence, and one that merits our genuine admiration.” Pliny the Elder, CE 77, The Natural History, BOOK XXXVI, 21

“I have set eyes on the wall of lofty Babylon on which is a road for chariots, and the statue of Zeus by the Alpheus, and the hanging gardens, and the colossus of the Sun, and the huge labour of the high pyramids, and the vast tomb of Mausolus; but when I saw the house of Artemis that mounted to the clouds, those other marvels lost their brilliancy, and I said, «Lo, apart from Olympus, the Sun never looked on aught so grand.“ Antipater of Sidon, BCE 140 Greek Anthology IX.58

“And afterwards around that image was raised a shrine of broad foundations. That it shall dawn behold nothing more divine, naught richer.” Callimachus, BCE 238, Hymns III. to Artemis, v. 248-250
